The `integration` platform provides the [Riemann sum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sum) of the values provided by a source sensor. The Riemann sum is an approximation of an **integral** by a finite sum. In this implementation, the default is the Trapezoidal method, but Left and Right methods can optionally be used.

The Riemann sum is an approximation of an **integral** by a finite sum. The integration sensors is updated upon changes of the the **source**. Fast sampling source sensors provide better results.
