It is not only about plants that are blooming at Bully’s landscapes…. It is about mobile phones, sensing, citizens, and data 61 75 62 76 63 77 64 78 65 79 66 80 67 81 processing, algorithm development and user-friendly reports and analysis of geo-referenced data for every-day use. Mobile systems with sensing capabilities are becoming integral part of everybody’s life. The Center for Embedded Network Sensing (CENS) (http://research.cens.ucla.edu/) at UCLA is collaborating with a host other agencies and citizens to deliver community-based participatory research for a myriad of uses such as individual/public health and wellness, urban planning, epidemiology, civic concerns to natural resource management, etc. (http://participatorysensing.org) . This involves developing programmable, multi-modal, multi-scale, multiuse sensing architectures to address compelling science and engineering issues – from human systems to ecosystems, from manmade to natural environments. Here, we are presenting the logistics on how citizen-driven data is being used to capture flowering events of plants on MSU campus, and how that data can be used in the near future to develop several other projects (Fig. 1). For this endeavor, we used mobile phones such as Nokia N-95 or I-phone to capture geo-tagged images of flowering plants. Once the images are taken, the geo-referenced data are seamlessly transmitted, and with automatic and manual classification, audited and analyzed using data storage services such as Flickr, and/or data storage/retrieval and analytical systems at CENS, UCLA. 103. 104. • Harmful algal blooms in rivers and coasts such as Mississippi river basin and gulf coast as affected by upstream agricultural practices. 105. • Invasive species including aquatic species and herbicide resistant weed population documentation. • Weed control guidelines in home lawns, golf courses and crop fields. 106. 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 • Document species changes across landscapes as affected by local, regional and global climate changes – ecological foot prints. 110. • Pollution (noise as well as gases and industrial) monitoring. • Disaster/crisis management operations. 111. • Use as teaching tools to recruit students into science and engineering fields, and to show linkages among the disciplines. 112. Fig. 1. A snap-shot of MSU campus map with geo-referenced data of flowering plants. The images were obtained using mobile phones, and the data campaigners were volunteers who took the data while doing their routine jobs and without much of user’s personal time. The numbers in the circles on the map indicate the volume of data collected at given location. 113. 114. 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 119. 120. K.

Sasank Reddy, Deborah Estrin and Eric Graham CENS, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA - Concept, Software & Network Development • Design or use available landscape for public-friendly botanical repositories for teaching, research, and aesthetics purposes. 89 107. 108. 109. • Disease and insect identification and control delivery systems. • Create flowering events and/or maps and walkways at MSU campus for visitors/local residents for enjoyment (Fig. 1). • Design and plant eco- and resource-friendly and sustainable plants for MSU landscapes. 102. • There are over 3X109 mobile users globally and still growing… • Recycling practices on campuses and cities. From these spatial and temporal database, we can: • Study plant phenology (flowering) as affected by long-term weather – climate foot-print on plant flowering, and thus resource allocation, and use. 101.
