Multiple smartphone coexistence has been a fact of life. However, each smartphone is though of as a single unit. We believe that cooperation between coexisting smartphones can provide users with a cheap hardware upgrade (e.g processing). In addition to sharing of sensing information that can be collected by only one phone saving others energy of redundant tasks (e.g. GPS readings). In this work, we propose COLlaboration smartPHONE (colPhone) a framework that manages the collaboration between smarphones. ColPhone aims to achieve mutual benefit for collaborators by utilizing idle resources on smartphone in the proximity.
