This paper is devoted to the crowd sensing applications. Crowd sensing (mobile crowd sensing in our case) is a new sensing paradigm based on the power of the crowd with the sensing capabilities of mobile devices, such as smartphones or wearable devices. This power is based on the smartphones, usually equipped with multiple sensors. So, it enables to collect local information from the individual’s surrounding environment with the help of sensing features of the mobile devices. In this paper, we provide the review of the back-end systems (data stores, etc.) for mobile crowd sensing systems. The main goal of this review is to propose the software architecture for mobile crowd sensing in Smart City environment. We discuss also the deployment of cloud-back-ends in Russia
