The evolution of smartphones together with increasing computational power has empowered developers to create innovative context-aware applications for recognizing user-related social and cognitive activities in any situation and at any location. The existence and awareness of the context provide the capability of being conscious of physical environments or situations around mobile device users. This...
Computation offloading is a promising way to improve the performance as well as reducing the battery power consumption of a mobile application by executing some parts of the application on a remote server. Recent researches on mobile cloud computing mainly focus on the code partitioning and offloading techniques, assuming that mobile codes are offloaded to a prepared server. However, the context of...
Mobile devices have gone far beyond their basic usage like calling, texting, etc. New generation mobile devices like smartphones contain a rich set of embedded sensors which enable them to perform sensing operations in different domains. To get user contextual information, both human centric & participatory sensing can be helpful. In order to accurately capture, recognize and classify various...
In the present mobile climate, both companies as well as their consumers are able to execute various processes at any time in any location using a myriad of wireless technologies. Organizational trends demonstrate that mobile devices are being utilized exponentially more to solve problems from the strategic planning level to the operational level through various departments. This propensity was recently...
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) has been an emerging trend in the enterprise, including the healthcare domain. However, efficient and personalized content delivery for data intensive applications remains a technical challenge. In this work, we explore a mobile electronic health record (EHR) web application for general practitioners (GPs) on the road for patient visits. Keeping all the health records...
Deploying mobile devices to perform medical tasks in hospitals is expected to improve physicians' workflow effectiveness. To benefit from the usage of smart devices in hospital settings it needs to be identified for which particular tasks these devices are suitable. Inspired by task-technology fit, this research examines constellations of conditions which result in perceived fit between particular...
With the proliferation of mobile devices, many users now take advantage of location-based services that use their current position. However, careful consideration should be made when sending one's location to another as the location often includes personal attributes such as home address and reveals private information such as health or religion. To resolve this issue, a dummy generation technique...
Traditional retailers are facing strong competition from e-commerce. One way to meet this challenge is to follow the marketing movement of focusing on customer experiences. This transformation is based on the notion of engaging customers and one way to drive this engagement is through gamification to support value creation. In this study, we have identified variables affecting intentions to use gamified...
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can face great challenges in learning and maintaining basic living skills. This not only reduces their possibilities of independent living and employment, but also continuously brings social and financial burdens to their caregivers/mentors. Although research has been proposed to help autism users, most of them focus on improving social and communication...
Although extensive progress has been made in Mobile Cloud Augmentation, automated decision support on the device that enables the opportunistic and intelligent use of cloud resources is missing. Furthermore, we need solutions with reflective capabilities that can handle a changing environment and runtime variability. To simplify the deployment of smart mobile applications, we present a framework with...
The affordance of mobile-based learning, including supporting a more personalized, authentic, situated learning are obvious. Research also revealed that mobile learning had positive effects on Second Language (L2) learning. However, individual differences on learning styles and prior knowledge could significantly affect the learning outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of learning...
The advancement of the Internet, mobile and wireless technologies have produced a rapid change of information in terms of volume and accessibility. The enormous volume of information can be devastating especially to mobile users exceeding human ability to differentiate information which is relevant and that which is irrelevant. For many years now, recommender system have become well-known, and have...
Location prediction based on cellularnetwork traces is a very challenging task due to therandomness of the human mobility patterns. Withthe help of the abundant social interaction datacontained in the cellular network, this paper focuson this question: How can knowing the location andthe assembled and dismissed behavior of my friendsbe used to more accurately predict my location?In this paper, we...
In a mobile crowdsourcing initiative, solvers are active users who make attempt to solve the given task. Volume of solvers participation is thus important to the success of any mobile crowdsourcing initiatives because chances of a task being solved basically increase with the number of solvers who attempt to solve it. Sustaining solvers participation is therefore an agendum that should be given consideration...
Rapid proliferation of numerous sensing technologies into mobile devices making them smarter than ever before. The smartphone is now better able to sense and keep record of various activities such as fitness level, mood detection, individual's drinking state, driving behavior, personal interests etc. Having such varied source of information can my smartphone really act as a recommender or as an assistant,...
The work presents a Multi-Agent System (MAS) solution for generating personalized recommendations on mobile devices with the use of contextual data acquired from the Internet of Thing (IoT). For mass data processing and personalized model preparation a server-side MAS architecture for Big Data processing is used. In order to deliver context-aware recommendations for very sparse input data, based on...
The trend of adapting BYOD or "Bring Your Own Device" concept in enterprise environment is increasing due to mutual benefits that the company and employees get. Organizations get benefit of increased productivity and reduced IT expenditure whereas the employees are able to use the mobile device which is comfortable and convenient for them. However, BYOD deployment brings serious security...

With the help of the abundant social interaction data contained in the cellular network, this paper focus on this question: How can knowing the location and the assembled and dismissed behavior of my friends be used to more accurately predict my location? We find out...
The ad-hoc mobile market is the environment that allows the interconnectivity of mobile devices within community of users that are ready to communicate and share services between providers and consumers. Issues like service discovery and selection are major obstacle in ad-hoc mobile. With the growing of this market, researchers are concentrating on service discovery with little on selection. Provision...
An original architecture for production and usage of modal linguistic summaries in IoT contexts and domains is presented. The underlying research takes into account basic features of real IoT contexts and tries to map them effectively into a set of functional requirements. The architecture is strongly influenced and supported by original models of natural language processing, developed interactive...
