Abstract :
Researchers are exploring the rendezvous concept - bringing sensors close to one another in space or time - as a way to make sense of disparate data collected by individuals. Applications such as participatory atmospheric sensing illustrate the potential of rendezvous to help create powerful mobile applications.
