Field studies and surveys are important elements of some natural sciences and social sciences. However, the data collection, processing and analysis process for the field surveys generally is lack of automation. In this paper, we will investigate how to apply wireless network and mobile computing technologies to build a framework named UbiquitousSurvey for mobile field survey data collection and analysis. This framework will not only enhance communication between surveyors in different locations, but also speed on-site data entry and analysis. Thus, the field surveyors can optimize collection efforts and the field survey can be more efficient and accurate.
