    Lineking: coffee shop wait-time monitoring using smartphones
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015) Bulut, M. F.; Demirbas, M.; Ferhatosmanoglu, H.
    This article describes LineKing, a crowdsensing system for monitoring and forecasting coffee shop line wait times. LineKing consists of a smartphone component that provides automatic and accurate wait-time detection, and a cloud backend that uses the collected data to provide accurate wait-time estimation. LineKing is used on a daily basis by hundreds of users to monitor the wait-times of a coffee shop in the University at Buffalo, SUNY. The novel wait-time estimation algorithms of LineKing deployed at the cloud backend provide median absolute errors of less than 3 minutes.

    LineKing: Crowdsourced line wait-time estimation using smartphones
    (Springer, 2013) Bulut, M. F.; Yilmaz, Y. S.; Demirbaş, M.; Ferhatosmanoğlu, N.; Ferhatosmanoğlu, Hakan
    This paper describes the design, implementation and deployment of LineKing (LK), a crowdsourced line wait-time monitoring service. LK consists of a smartphone component (that provides automatic, energy-efficient, and accurate wait-time detection), and a cloud backend (that uses the collected data to provide accurate wait-time estimation). LK is used on a daily basis by hundreds of users to monitor the wait-times of a coffee shop in our university campus. The novel wait-time estimation algorithms deployed at the cloud backend provide mean absolute errors of less than 2-3 minutes. © 2013 ICST Institute for Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
