This statement is particularly true when considering human activity traces, which tend to be highly unpredictable. In this paper, we therefore introduce APISENSE, a distributed crowdsensing platform for collecting realistic activity traces. In particular, APISENSE provides to scientists a participative platform to help them to easily deploy their sensing experiments in the wild. Beyond the scientific contributions of this platform, the technical originality of APISENSE lies in its Cloud orientation and the dynamic deployment of scripts within the mobile devices of the participants.We validate this platform by reporting on various crowdsensing experiments we deployed using Android smartphones and comparing our solution to existing crowdsensing platforms. %G English %Z TC 6 %Z WG 6.1 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-00804114/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-00804114/file/APISENSE-DAIS13.pdf %L hal-00804114 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-00804114 %~ UNIV-LILLE3 %~ CNRS %~ INRIA %~ INRIA-LILLE %~ LIFL %~ INRIA_TEST %~ TESTALAIN1 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ INRIA2 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-WG6-1 %~ IFIP-DAIS %~ IFIP-DISCOTEC %~ IFIP-LNCS-7891
