APISENSE ® is a distributed platform dedicated to crowd-sensing activities. Crowd-sensing intends to leverage mobile devices to seamlessly collect valuable dataset for different categories of stakeholders. APISENSE ® intends to be used in a wide variety of scientific and industrial domains, including network quality monitoring, social behavior analysis, epidemy predictions, emergency crisis support, open maps initiatives, debugging of applications in the wide. APISENSE ® is composed of Hive delivered as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to the stakeholders who can pilot and customize their own crowd-sensing environment [79] , and Bee supporting participants with a mobile application to control the sensors to be shared with the rest of the world [68] , [69] . The platform is used by the Metroscope consortium, an Internet scientific observatory initiative supported by Inria. APISENSE ® originates as the output of Nicolas Haderer PhD thesis [67] .
APISENSE ® is at the core of the Inria ADT Focus CrowdLab project (see Section 9.2 ) and of an industrial transfer action that aims at creating the Crowdify spin-off company.
