CrowdOS Open Source Competition

CrowdOS Open Source Innovation Competition for Mobile Crowd Sensing Platform Launched

In order to promote the development of China's basic software, promote the construction of crowd sensing computing open source ecology, and explore the reform of open source education. The second "CrowdOS Open Source Innovation Competition for Mobile Crowd Sensing Platform" hosted by Northwestern Polytechnical University is about to start. We invite global IoT and computing enthusiasts, researchers and developers to participate in the construction of crowd sensing perception ecology. CrowdOS is wonderful because of you!

Introduction

Competition Background

CrowdOS Open Source Innovation Competition for Mobile Crowd Sensing Platform is an open source innovation competition based on the CrowdOS Mobile Crowd Sensing Platform of Northwestern Polytechnical University founded in 2021 under the guidance of CCF Open Source Development Committee, CCF Pervasive Computing Committee, ACM Xi'an Chapter, and Shaanxi Computer Society. The event also serves as one of the events of the Open Source Task Challenge in the China Software Open Source Innovation Competition in 2021.

This second competition is open to all school students and practitioners in IT-related fields, aiming to enhance people's ability to research algorithms and technical applications of crowd sensing through competition, and to promote the ecological construction of China's autonomous crowd sensing platform and the depth of application research. The competition is assisted by famous universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Zhejiang University, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Southeast University.

Platform Development Challenge
Based on the CrowdOS source code, the participating teams will test the CrowdOS platform, improve the stability of the platform, design and develop new features of the platform, and be awarded based on the degree of code contribution.

Platform Application Challenge
Participating teams develop new applications based on the CrowdOS platform for environmental monitoring, smart transportation, public safety, smart agriculture, etc. Prizes are awarded based on the innovation and practicality of the applications.

Data Acquisition Challenge
Based on the CrowdOS platform and the WeSense application, the participating teams collected crowdsensing data, formed a domain dataset, and analyzed and visualized the data, and awarded prizes based on the quality of the dataset and the effect of data analysis.

The competition set two tracks
Sprout track: high school students, undergraduate students
Professional track: graduate students, IT-related field practitioners

The online registration, entry rules, award settings and technical salon for each team will be updated in real time on the official website of the competition, and the relevant interpretation right belongs to the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Intelligent Perception and Computing Industry ,so please pay attention to the information on the website in time.

Technical Salon

During this year's CrowdOS competition, one to two offline technical salons will be held, during which the CrowdOS technical support team will not only answer questions about the competition questions, but also invite the previous winning teams to share their competition experience, and have the opportunity to listen to the insights of industry experts on related cutting-edge technologies.

The technical salon is a combination of offline and online activities, and the organizer will provide offline participants with room and board in Xi'an during the salon, as well as round-trip transportation costs for students from off-site schools. Considering the epidemic and other factors, only the top 15 registered teams are eligible to participate in the salon offline, and each team is allowed to have a maximum of 3 members to participate offline.

Previous Review

The first CrowdOS crowdsensing Open Source Competition is an open source project innovation competition relying on the 4th China Software Open Source Innovation Competition. The competition is co-organized by Peking University and the Green Computing Industry Alliance. Experts and professors from several universities, enterprises and alliances across China were invited to form the competition's event committee, organizing committee, publicity committee, and technical committee for each track, and other co-organizers. Nearly 4,000 people registered for the CrowdOS open source competition sponsored by Northwestern Polytechnical University. More than 50 renowned university teams from all over the world have applied for the competition, including National University of Singapore, Paris Institute of Technology, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, University of Science and Technology of China, etc. With the orderly organization of the event and the active efforts of the participating teams, CrowdOS ranked first in the number of teams finishing the 2021 China Software Open Source Innovation Competition, and two teams won the first and second prizes of the China Software Open Source Innovation Competition.
