1 MIMOVE - Middleware on the Move

In this paper, we introduce MobIoT, a service-oriented middleware that enables large-scale mobile participatory sensing. Scalability is achieved by limiting the participation of redundant sensing devices. Precisely, MobIoT allows a new device to register its services only if it increases the sensing coverage of a physical attribute, along its expected path, for the set of registered devices. We present the design and implementation of MobIoT, which mobile devices use to determine their registration decision and become accessible for their services. Through experiments performed on real datasets, we show that our solution scales, while meeting sensing coverage requirements.
