With the prevalence of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, the ways people access to the Internet have changed enormously. In addition to the information that can be recorded by traditional Web-based e-commerce like frequent online shopping stores and browsing histories, mobile devices are capable of tracking sophisticated browsing behavior. The aim of this study is to utilize users' browsing...
The evolution of information retrieval is intimately linked to the evolution of the Web. Although the involvement of different context dimensions in the improvement of the search task was greatly studied, the abundant development of hardware and software opens ways to explore new contextual dimensions. This paper presents the different contextual dimensions studies in the literature and proposes a...
Mobile users have the capability of accessing information anywhere at anytime with the introduction of mobile web search. However, they still need to devote time and effort in order to retrieve relevant information in mobile devices. Conversely, context is proposed to reduce users time and effort. The recognition of context is supported by the availability of embedded sensors in mobile devices. In...
Mobile social applications are becoming increasingly popular with a growing number of users turning to mobile devices for socializing, information sharing, retrieval or related activities, and/or gaming. The increased interest in the domain has resulted in numerous application prototypes being reported in the recent years that combine elements of socializing, gaming, and information related activities,...
We have developed a prototype platform for contextual information access in mobile settings. Objects, people, and the environment are considered as contextual channels or cues to more information. The system infers, based on gaze, speech and other implicit feedback signals, which of the contextual cues are relevant, retrieves more information relevant to the cues, and presents the information with...
In this paper, we address the process of generating cartographic maps on-the-fly. Despite the existence of intensive research works, this process is still characterized by its complexity, time-consuming processing, and lack of flexibility. While web users are having an improved access to spatial data, mobile users are still facing problems in getting personalized maps that fit their limited display...
The typical scenario of a user seeking information on the Web requires significant effort to get the desired information. In a world where information is essential, it can be crucial for users to get the desired information quickly even when they are away from their desktop computers. The Context-Aware Browser for mobile devices senses the surrounding environment, infers the user's current context,...
Context-aware computing benefits mobile applications by adapting systems behavior through user surrounding. However, contextualized information retrieval for mobile user in mobile P2p environment still remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we present JHPeer framework for mobile information retrieval (IR) in hybrid peer to peer (P2P) networks. JHPeer incorporates context engine to fit on mobile...
Most tourists today expect a friendly tour guidance and services considering their individual preferences and actual situation while protecting their privacy. The ideal is an intelligent guide taking care of the whole organization and execution in time. This is the main objective of the context-based Personalized Mobile Tourist Guide (PMTG). Tourist's profiles or visiting background is stored in a...
Mobile device can be used as a medium to send and receive the mobile Internet content. However, there are several limitations using mobile Internet. Content personalisation has been viewed as an important area when using mobile Internet. In order for personalisation to be successful, understanding the user is important. In this paper, we explore the implementation of the user profile at client-side,...
Mobile-enabled social networks applications are becoming increasingly popular. Most of the current social network applications have been designed for high-end mobile devices, and they rely upon features such as GPS, capabilities of the World Wide Web, and rich media support. However, a significant fraction of mobile user base, especially in the developing world, own low-end devices that are only capable...
Context-awareness has become a desired key feature of today's mobile systems, yet, its realization still remains a challenge. On the one hand, mobile computing provides great potential for adaptations based on sensed contextual information. On the other hand, the lack of dependability in mobile networks hampers an efficient provision of this information to requesting clients. In this paper we present...
This panel paper presents motivations for discussing mobile media search and contains statements from the panelists who are industry research leaders in this field.
With the emergence of pervasive computing environments, mobile information sharing and retrieval is becoming an exciting domain that challenges information scientists. In this paper, we describe a hybrid peer to peer context-aware framework for building mobile information sharing applications. A scalable and flexible architecture based on JXTA is presented. The architecture called "JHPeer"...
We present an approach for personal information management for mobile devices like PDAs based on the Semantic Desktop. The main objective is to design and realize a recommendation system to identify interesting items (e.g. messages or documents) based on the current context (time and location) and a user's personal ontology. To do so, our algorithm uses an evaluation function to traverse the graph...
