This dataset comprises experiments carried out with the open-source middleware NSense (fomerly named as USense), available at https://github.com/COPELABS-SITI/NSense The data has been collected based on four sensors: bluetooth; Wi-Fi; microphone; accelerometer. NSense then relies on four different pipelines to compute aspects such as relative distance (Wi-Fi); social strength (based on bluetooth contact duration); sound activity level; motion. We set up experiments making use of Samsung Galaxy S3 devices. For each experiment, there is the following set of data files: - SocialProximity.dat has three columns: Timestamp, DeviceName, Encounter Duration, Average Encounter Duration, Social Strength (Per hour) and Social Strength(Per minute) towards DeviceName - DistanceOutput.dat has three columns: Timestamp, DeviceName, and Distance towards DeviceName - Microphone.dat has two columns: Timestamp, and Soundlevel(QUIET, NORMAL, ALERT and NOISY) - PhysicalActivity.dat has two columns: Timestamp, and Activity as STATIONARY, WALKING and RUNNING There are two tracesets. A first traceset has been collected relying on a first NSense version in 2015. Then, a second traceset has been collected in 2016, with a refined version of NSense. In all tracesets, devices have been carried around by people that share the same affiliation during their individual daily routines (24 hour periods).

new CRAWDAD dataset - wireless contacts traces from Android smartphones - October 30, 2016: A new dataset has been added to CRAWDAD. upb/hyccups

Trace of wireless contacts, social connections, and user interests, performed in an academic environment for 63 days, with 72 participants

Contributed by Radu I. Ciobanu, Ciprian Dobre.

Wireless contacts trace collected at the University Politehnica of Bucharest in the spring of 2012, using an application entitled HYCCUPS Tracer (https://hyccups.hpc.pub.ro), with the purpose of collecting contextual data from Android smartphones. It was run in the background and collected availability and mobile interaction information such as usage statistics, user activity, battery statistics, or sensor data, but it also gathered information about a device's encounters with other nodes or with wireless access points. Encounter collection was performed using AllJoyn. The data was collected by constructing and deleting wireless sessions using the AllJoyn framework based on WiFi. Tracing was executed asynchronously. The duration of the tracing experiment was 63 days, between March and May 2012, and had 72 participants, out of which only 42 had at least one contact. By analyzing the participants' Facebook profiles, the social connections matrix was extracted, as well as the users' interests. The trace (and others from the CRAWDAD collection) is parsed within the MobEmu simulator (used in all UPB's papers), publicly available at https://github.com/raduciobanu/mobemu

This dataset contains seven connectivity traces that have been derived from the cambridge/haggle/imote traceset (v. 2009-05-29). These connectivity traces can be used for network simulations with the Opportunistic Network Environment (ONE) simulator, since they are in accordance with the syntax of the StandardEventsReader format. The Python scripts that generated these connectivity traces are also provided.

If you do use these data, please let us know, and you can use the DOI 10.15783/C7Z884 to do so. BibTeX and RIS are provided on the website.

Note #1: this dataset is derived from another dataset. We have trawled the DataCite data archiving schema (https://schema.datacite.org/ for those who are interested) and believe that everything is proper. So if you have used CRAWDAD datasets to create other datasets (e.g., converted datasets into other formats, or derived encounter traces from access point measurements, or combined datasets together), then please get in touch as it would be good to share these with the community.

Note #2: there is an electrical upgrade at Dartmouth this week so the main crawdad server may be inaccessible. Try uk.crawdad.org/ if the main site doesn't work.

DOIs for CRAWDAD datasets - August 27, 2015: Hello CRAWDAD users,

It is now possible to cite datasets using DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers). These increasingly popular persistent identifiers should provide stable citation references for use in your papers when you use CRAWDAD datasets. They should also help with anyone who is thinking of contributing data to CRAWDAD, since some funding bodies now require that datasets have DOIs.

So for instance you can now cite the latest version of the dartmouth/campus dataset as follows:

David Kotz, Tristan Henderson, Ilya Abyzov, Jihwang Yeo, CRAWDAD dataset dartmouth/campus (v. 2009â€‘09â€‘09), downloaded from dartmouth/campus/20090909, doi:10.15783/C7F59T Sep 2009.

We also now provide both BibTeX and RIS so that both LaTeX and Word users can cite CRAWDAD datasets easily and accurately. If you are interested in knowing some common data citation errors, and why it is important to cite data correctly, then you might want to see the article that we wrote for D-Lib Magazine https://doi.org/10.1045/january2015-henderson If you are interested in knowing more about DOIs then there is lots of information at https://www.doi.org/

Cheers, Tristan

PS it took a while for me to get my head around the issuing (or "minting") of DOIs. So if you notice any weirdness then please shout.

new CRAWDAD dataset - Netalyzr Android data - March 31, 2015: A new dataset has been added to CRAWDAD. icsi/netalyzr-android

Mobile data collected using the Netalyzr for Android App.

Contributed by Narseo Vallina-Rodriguez, Srikanth Sundaresan, Christian Kreibich, Nicholas Weaver, Vern Paxson.

This dataset was collected by the ICSI Netalyzr app for Android to develop a characterization of how operational decisions, such as network configurations, business models, and relationships between operators introduce diversity in service quality and affect user security and privacy. We delve in detail beyond the radio link and into network configuration and business relationships in six countries. We identify the widespread use of transparent middleboxes such as HTTP and DNS proxies, analyzing how they actively modify user traffic, compromise user privacy, and potentially undermine user security. In addition, we identify network sharing agreements between operators, highlighting the implications of roaming and characterizing the properties of MVNOs, including that a majority are simply rebranded versions of major operators. More broadly, our findings using this data highlight the importance of considering higher-layer relationships when seeking to analyze mobile traffic in a sound fashion.

The dataset is used for a forthcoming MobiSys paper entitled "Beyond the Radio: Illuminating the Higher Layers of Mobile Networks".

new CRAWDAD dataset - inter-arrival time measurements - June 10, 2014: A new dataset has been added to CRAWDAD. gatech/fingerprinting

Fingerprinting of wireless devices exploiting information leaked due to different device hardware compositions: Inter-Arrival-Time (IAT) of packets from wireless devices

Contributed by A. Selcuk Uluagac.

In these datasets, we present the the inter-arrival time information collected actively and passively from different wireless devices using wire-side observations in a local network. The captures were collected from 30 wireless devices including iPads, iPhones, Kindles, Google-Phones, Netbooks, IP Printers, IP Cameras, etc., from various applications and protocols such as Skype, ICMP, SCP, Iperf. Due to heterogeneity in devices (e.g., deterministic hardware and software configurations), time-variant behavior of network traffic stemming from different devices can be used to create unique, reproducible device and device type signatures and to fingerprint devices and their types as explained in A. Selcuk Uluagac, Sakthi V. Radhakrishnan, Cherita Corbett, Antony Baca, and Raheem A. Beyah, A Passive Technique for Fingerprinting Wireless Devices with Wired-side Observations, Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS), October 2013.

Round-trip Time-of-flight Measurements from a supermarket

Contributed by Aveek Purohit, Shijia Pan, Kaifei Chen, Zheng Sun, Pei Zhang.

The dataset is meant to aid development and evaluation of indoor location in complex indoor environments using round-trip time-of-flight (RToF) and magnetometer measurements. The dataset provides Round-trip time-of-flight (RToF) and magnetometer measurements at 1589 mobile node locations from 30 deployed stationary anchors in the 26m x 24m New Wing Yuan supermarket in Sunnyvale, CA. The data was collected during working hours over a period of 15 days. The nodes are equipped with chirp spread spectrum Nanotron nanoLoc radios (802.15.4a) and a Honeywell's HMC5843, a 3-axis digital magnetometer. At every location, 20 distinct readings were obtained for RToF signatures as well magnetometer measurements, to capture the variance, giving a total of 31780 readings.

CRAWDAD workshop summary - November 07, 2005: The CRAWDAD workshop at Mobicom 2005 was a great success.

Wireless network researchers are seriously starved for data about how real users, applications, and devices use real networks under real network conditions. CRAWDAD (Community Resource for Archiving Wireless Data at Dartmouth) is a new National Science Foundation-funded project to build a wireless-network data archive for the research community. It will host wireless data and provide tools and documents to make collecting and using the data easy. This resource should help researchers identify and evaluate real and interesting problems in mobile and pervasive computing. To learn more about CRAWDAD and discuss its direction, about 30 interested people gathered at a workshop held in conjunction with MobiCom 2005.

We published a more complete summary in IEEE Pervasive Computing magazine: https://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MPRV.2005.75
