A framework for real time passive data visualizations

In this thesis, I leveraged the openPDS and funf frameworks to design and implement a framework for visualizing and analyzing data collected passively from mobile devices. The framework integrates with the process of data collection on the Android platform, storage and task management on the backend server, and finally display in the user-facing browser applications. The two javascript applications were built to demonstrate the functionality of the framework and test the results. A test framework was also designed and created to simulate various numbers of mobile clients and find the limits of the real time functionality given reasonable environment resources.
