On Demand Retrieval of Crowdsourced Mobile Video
IEEE Sensors Journal, 2015The proliferation of mobile cameras has popularized social sharing of videos captured at events such as sports matches, art performances, and lectures. Due to bandwidth and energy constraints, it is often not efficient or desirable to upload all captured videos to a server for sharing immediately after capturing.

An architecture for adhesive mobile crowdsourcing application
2015 Eighth International Conference on Mobile Computing and Ubiquitous Networking (ICMU), 2015Continual increase in household items prices has prompted the need to have a mechanism that enables comparison of prices to be made between different stores. Through the comparison, consumers are able to find stores that sell items at lower prices, hence helping them to save on their household expenditures. The success of this mechanism strongly relies
