Research Challenges• Can we reduce the coding effort by 100x?

l = getLocation();s = getSpeed();r = roadSegment(l);sum[r] = sum[r] + s; count[r] = count[r] + 1avgSpeed[r] = sum[r] / count[r];

• Developer writes simple server side code – Algorithms automatically partition code to run on phones

• How do we scale to thousands of phones?

• Security, Privacy and Incentives

l = gps.getLocation();s = gps.getSpeed();send(l, s);
