The diversity of the mobile landscape is shaping the business outlook of several enterprises including the agricultural sector. Today, there are several opportunities that can be harnessed in terms of productivity, mechanization, revenue, and so on when mobile technology is combined with agriculture technology. Especially, with mobile apps, agriculturists such as crop farmers can have access to timely...
With the development of ubiquitous computing, smart home nowadays are becoming popular and more widely used by people especially for those who really need the ease of living. Today, the rapid development of smartphone also has become useful for smart home in which the device can be used to remotely control the smart home technologies. However, the security of the devices and the communication among...
Mobile operating systems have expanded from running exclusively on smartphones to include tablets and music players as well, making them available to a larger audience. These operating systems are responsible for maintaining a multitude of schedules, messages, calls, music, documents, applications, photos, videos, and other personal data with the goal of increasing efficiency. Because of this, developers...
With the appearance of wireless communication networks and the new generation of mobile devices, the access to data transmission networks has become possible anywhere at any time. Today, a group of users may gather in a dynamic manner and set up their own ad hoc communication networks, which are named MANET (Mobile Ad hoc NETwork). In parallel, on the Internet, the use of social networks has soared,...
Mobile devices with two network interfaces(WiFi and 3G) are already commercially available. Point-to-point communications such as Infrared and Bluetooth are also readily used. In the near future, mobile phones will have several interfaces including satellite and new technologies such as Ultra wideband. Hence we must assume that such devices will be multi-homed by default. For various reasons, including...
The most important parts of our Biotelemetry system is a hardware platform. If we could develop visualization, we must have to measure real data. They are two main choices to solve this part of system. We can use commercial devices, such as embedded PCs, PDAs and wireless ECG unit Blue ECG communicating via Bluetooth. Suggests major problems and disadvantages of their use and offers possible solutions...
Over last years, Indoor Positioning and Navigation Systems (IPNS) has been subject of intense study and research ought to it has become a blind spot with regard to Positioning and Navigation Software. None of proposed indoor solutions has been as successful as outdoor systems like Global Position System (GPS). Our proposal presents the design and implementation on mobile device(the most common), of...
The constant advent of powerful mobile devices has raised the potential of building novel context-aware applications. These applications let the users enjoy a better experience by sensing their context and automating tasks that would otherwise require significant user attention. This paper presents two context-aware applications, built on top of the MUSIC middleware's context management framework...
School and College campuses face a perceived threat of violent crimes and require a realistic plan against unpredictable emergencies and disasters. Existing emergency systems (e.g., 911, campus-wide alerts) are quite useful, but provide delayed response (often tens of minutes) and do not utilize proximity or locality. There is a need to exploit proximity-based help for immediate response and to deter...
Study on human mobility is gaining increasing attention from the research community with its multiple applications to use in mobile networks, particularly for the purpose of message delivery in the Delay Tolerant Networks. To understand the potential of mobile nodes better as message relays, our study investigates the encounter pattern of mobile devices. Specifically, we examine the extensive network...
Over the last decade, the mobile device has become a ubiquitous tool within everyday life. Unfortunately, whilst the popularity of mobile devices has increased, a corresponding increase can also be identified in the threats being targeted towards these devices. Security countermeasures such as AV and firewalls are being deployed, however, the increasing sophistication of the attacks requires additional...
Mobile devices such as cell phone, PDA and smart phone have been so popularized that they are to be a necessity for everyday life. These mobile devices can be very useful tools to collect users' life-logs because they have many sensors and users always carry them. Therefore, many studies using mobile life-logs are actually being conducted. Mobile life-logs include interaction information between users...
Rapid technological evolutions in mobile industry have revealed new challenges for scientists and researchers by empowering low-end devices in the last decade. Mobile phones with excellent computing power and added features especially with huge storage capacities are very common in the market. As the storage capacity grows on such a device, it becomes very tedious for users to manage and organize...
We are facing promising developments in the area of mobile services where context-aware systems can take the location and position of a user, her preferences and `smart' objects into account, adding (implicit) interaction between a mobile device (of the user) and the real world. The assimilation of ubiquitous computing by education marks an important step forward, as being pervasive and persistent...
This article undertakes the most important parts of hardware platform of our Biotelemetric system. It describes the way of use of standard devices from commercial manufacturers, such as embedded PCs, PDAs and wireless ECG unit BlueECG communicating via bluetooth. Suggests major problems and disadvantages of their use and offers possible solutions in the form of construction of our own purpose-built...
Most mobile devices are now Bluetooth-enabled. This wireless technology makes it possible to transfer files or stream contents between pieces of equipment. The possibly many devices that are in reach of each other and thus connected constitute a Personal Area Network (PAN). The problem remains that because of radio range setting up such connections is only possible for devices in a limited area. This...
In this work we develop a server which can be placed on any kind of transportation and contain information which can be accessed by passengers using their mobile device. We call the server as Mobile Portal. It is an alternative solution to make passengers have more pleasant journey because along the way they can access up to date information, ordering food, or even chat with another passengers. Mobile...
Traditionally, mobile devices have come with a set number of functionalities. Even when these have been augmented, this has rarely involved taking advantage of their complementary wireless capabilities (such as Bluetooth and GPS). The main focus of the research described in this paper was to create an application that takes advantage of the capabilities of Bluetooth to remote control any computer...
In this paper we present BlueS, a framework for information-service discovery and data exchange in mobile adhoc scenarios. Therefore, its necessary to develop intelligent efficient indexing strategies for knowledge addressing and exchange in dynamic ensembles. Especially in scenarios like MuSAMA, a project dealing with Smart-Rooms, data access, query evaluation on mobile devices and retrieval techniques...
Future mobile devices are expected to access different networks (such as 3rd generation network, WLAN, Bluetooth, Internet, and etc). Hence many sensitivity data are stored in them. How to protect the security of information and applications about mobile devices becomes an exigent problem. This paper proposes a secure authentication and authorization protocol for mobile devices. The protocol employs...
