SystemSens: a tool for monitoring usage in smartphone research deployments
Proceedings of the sixth international workshop on MobiArch, 2011•dl.acm.org
By deploying several research applications, we found that capturing usage context (eg, CPU
and memory) is highly valuable for debugging and interpreting results, even if that context
information appears unrelated to the application. We have developed a general tool called
SystemSens to help researchers capture usage context in their deployments in an
extendible way. This paper describes and motivates the design choices underlying our tool
and evaluates its overheads in terms of phone resources and data.
