Experimenting in mobile social contexts using JellyNets

Programmable consumer devices have placed computation within arm's reach at all times and in all places. Unfortunately, researchers interested in investigating this phenomenon often struggle with the expense, inconvenience, and limited scale of existing experimental platforms. In this paper, we introduce a new experimental platform for mobile and pervasive computing based on JellyNets, an abstraction for exposing experiments to arbitrary mobile social contexts.
