OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE (Selected, 2009-2016)

• Anyplace - Indoor Localization and Navigation (2011-current): I supervised the development of Anyplace, an open, modular, extensible and scalable navigation architecture that exploits crowdsourced Wi-Fi data to develop a novel navigation service that won several international research awards for its utility and accuracy (i.e., less than 2 meters). Paricularly, it won the 1st place at the Evaluation of RF-based Indoor Localization Solutions for the Future Internet (EVARILOS Open Challenge), European Union, the 2nd place at the Microsoft Research Indoor Localization Competition at IEEE/ACM IPSN 2014, Berlin, Germany and the Best Demo Award at 2012 IEEE Mobile Data Management Conference, Bangalore, India. Our MIT-licenced open-source software stack has to this date been used by hundreds of researchers and practitioners around the globe, with the public Anyplace service reaching over 100,000 real user interactions and over 20,000 real users. (http://anyplace.cs.ucy.ac.cy/)

• Rayzit - Proximity-based Social Network (2012-current): I supervised the development of Rayzit, an anonymous dynamic crowd messaging architecture, which is based on generating a kNN network among users by connecting each user to their k geographically closest peers at each moment. The given service has won the Appcampus award by a Finnish Alliance comprising of Microsoft, Nokia and Aalto University. Our MIT-licenced open-source software stack has to this date been used by many researchers and practitioners around the globe, with the public Rayzit service reaching over 45,000 real user interactions and over 10,000 real users. (http://rayzit.com/)

• SmartLab - A Smartphone Programming Cloud (2011-2015): I supervised the development of the SmartLab, an experimental testbed of Android Smartphones deployed at the Department of Computer Science building at the University of Cyprus. SmartLab provides a public testbed for development and testing of smartphone network applications via an intuitive web-based interface. In many respects, it is one of the first Smartphone Computer Clusters globally. Registered users can upload and install APK files on a number of Android smartphones, capture their output (screenshot or files), reboot the devices, create concurrent interactive jobs using MonkeyRunner scripts and many other exciting features. SmartLab has been used to facilitate research in smartphone network programming environments, communication protocols, system design, and applications. (http://smartlab.cs.ucy.ac.cy/)

• SmartTrace - A Crowdsourced Trajectory Similarity Framework (2009-2013): I supervised the development of SmartTrace+, a prototype crowdsourced trajectory similarity search framework that enables the execution of queries in the form: ``Report the users that move more similar to Q, where Q is some query trace. The notion of similarity captures the trajectories that differ only slightly, in the whole sequence, from the query Q. SmartTrace+ enables the execution of such queries in both outdoor environments (using GPS) and indoor environments (using WiFi RSS), without disclosing the traces of participating users to the querying node. Our framework can be utilized in large-scale urban and transit planning applications, which would otherwise be limited by data disclosure constraints, social networking applications for smartphones, habitant monitoring systems, etc. (http://smarttrace.cs.ucy.ac.cy/)

• KSpot - Spotting the K Highest-ranked answers in Wireless Sensor Networks (2011): I supervised the development of the KSpot software system, a graphical user interface and ranking system for effectively monitoring the K highest-ranked answers to a query in a Wireless Sensor Network. KSpot deploys state-of-the-art distributed Top-k query processing algorithms in order to realize both snapshot queries and historic queries minimizing the consumption of system resources and prolonging the lifetime of the deployed sensor network. Additionally, KSpot is user-friendly and customizable featuring an intuitive user interface that enables the user to express declarative SQL-like queries over any ad-hoc scenario and to display the results graphically (http://kspot.cs.ucy.ac.cy/)
