Welcome to the intelligent mobile context- and content-aware networking project. Our goal is to design mobile networking systems for delivering data originally targeted for cellular networks that intelligently leverage users’ mobility and their demanded content. This will allow the improvement of the level of service required by the new wave of smartphones applications. For that, we need to understand the relationship between human context, such as one’s environment and actions, and their generated data traffic. MACACOApp will help us on this and can be downloaded and installed from Play Store.
In general lines, the MACACO application collects and uploads data regularly related to:
- HAID (the hash of the IMEI of your phone)
- Phone Model & OS
- Location (GPS and Network)
- Wi-Fi availability and near by Wi-Fi Networks
- Bluetooth/cellular network status
- Remaining capacity of the Battery/Is charging?
- Size & Remaining space of SD card
- Installed and Running Apps
- Browser history
