Abstract Pervasive data sensing is a major issue that transverses
various
research areas and application domains. It allows identifying people's
behaviour and patterns without overwhelming the monitored persons. Although
there are many pervasive data sensing applications, they are typically
focused on addressing specific problems in a single application domain,
making them difficult to generalize or reuse. On the other hand, the
platforms for supporting pervasive data sensing impose restrictions to the
devices and operational environments that make them unsuitable for
monitoring loosely-coupled or fully distributed work. In order to help
address this challenge this paper present a framework that supports
distributed pervasive data sensing in a generic way. Developers can use this
framework to facilitate the implementations of their applications, thus
reducing complexity and effort in such an activity. The framework was
evaluated using simulations and also through an empirical test, and the
obtained results indicate that it is useful to support such a sensing
activity in loosely-coupled or fully distributed work scenarios.
