Abstract
Various interfaces such as application programming interfaces (APIs) are employed to allow developers to construct applications that use multiple shared sensors. In one instance, a coordinator can be utilized to facilitate coordination of sensor data contributors and applications desirous of utilizing such data. Standardized interfaces can be employed to aid interaction between all entities including contributors, applications and a coordinator, amongst others.
