Virtual worlds and avatar-based interactive computer games are a hype among consumers and researchers for many years now. In recent years, such games on mobile devices also became increasingly important. However, most virtual worlds require the use of proprietary clients and authoring environments and lack portability, which limits their usefulness for targeting wider audiences like e.g. in consumer...
Nowadays, the need to tackle rapidly increased crimes is increasing day by day to help ensuring justice. Digital forensics can be defined as the process of collecting, examining, analyzing and reporting of digital evidence without any damage. Digital forensics requires a detailed examination of devices such as computers, mobile phones, sim cards, tablets that contain digital evidence regardless of...
Method for increasing protection level of desktop PC type computer software application and user data using smartphone is proposed and presented in this paper. Smartphones are widely used, almost every person has one and manufacturers of smartphones offer wide range of the devices. All desktop computer applications for some particular and special purposes have applied some kind of protection. This...
Based on the data of a recent study, the paper will show and analyse the factors that contribute to the fast improvement of energy efficiency of ICT end-user devices over the past years. The main purpose of the paper is to outline future developments and challenges with respect to the further improvement of energy efficiency in the field of end-user devices. In the paper the authors will argue that...
There is a demand for a way for blind persons to receive information at any time and in any place. Therefore the author developed the world's first wristwatch-style refreshable braille display. In this paper, an user interface which enable an appropriate interaction with host computer using such several-cell braille displays is introduced and explained.
With the world becoming a more mobile place for everyone through the use of smartphones, tablets and laptop computers, the need to help people to get mobile programming skills has never been greater. If anyone wants to become a mobile applications developer, the best approach might just be to learn how to develop and start doing it, and it's "to learn how to develop", the really important...
This paper explores the students' perception on Mendeley Reference Management Software (MRMS) focusing particularly with academic honesty as the fundamental aspect in the form of encouraging the academic integrity and avoiding academic dishonesty. It reports a survey research using a survey monkey involving 100 respondents to obtain data on the students' responses on the use of MRMS (the default features...
These paper summarizes the research carried out as part of the design of an Android application to transcript phone calls. The system will automatically collect out any mobile calls and transcript it with voice recognition into text, which will therefor be reordered in the memory of each mobile phone of the callers. The system allows someone to make calls and send text messages generated to both....
This study reported the development of Equation Sensei -- a mobile-assisted learning application in mathematics. Equation Sensei allows students to input their own problems or to solve problems generated by the application. It is capable of providing step-by-step guide in solving linear equations. Hints are provided whenever a wrong step is encountered. However, hints concerning arithmetic and fraction...
Mobile online translation (MOT) is a new form of application of machine translation in the age of mobile learning. Nowadays, there are lots of MOT apps in Android app store. Since the techniques used in MOT apps and their functions are different, their features are also different. In order to objectively evaluate MOT apps for selecting suitable translation tools, we have studied a Delphi-based evaluation...
With the advent of smart phones, mobile phones underwent metamorphosis and became the mother of all inventions. Transforming into devices capable of handling high end applications, mobile phones have introduced the features of mobility and portability in almost all applications and software that were designed for a personal computer. They also serve as dynamic gateways to the internet through which...
The paper covers the period from 1966 to 1987 when the Research Institute of Electronic Machines (NIEM) -- the Research Centre of Electronic Computational Equipment (NICEVT) -- "Argon" NII" carried out works for providing mobile computer devices for "Maneuver" automated front troop control system. The author, being the primary constructor of "Beta-2" and "Beta-3M"...
The advent of the mobile Internet era makes people's lives more and more dependent on the network, and users of the App requirements are increasing, not only functional requirements, focusing on ease of use, aesthetic needs, etc., which are each App developers and designers need to consider.
This paper offers a look at computing technology as it supports global research in health, education, governance and other humanitarian domains. Computing technologies include mobile and web platforms for research tools, data collection tools, data coordinating centers that bring global information together for analysis, and more. Subject areas include the study of health behaviors, establishing good...
Many organizations are working in developing coun- tries to support local health care organizations and infrastructure to provide sustainable, community-based health care. This requires not only the influx of medical staff and supplies, but also requires maintaining individual health care records and enabling the ability to collect, analyze and aggregate data in the field to customize care to the...
In this video we present a teleoperation system which is capable of solving complex tasks in human-sized wide area environments. The system consists of two mobile teleoperators controlled by two operators, and offers haptic, visual, and auditory feedback. The task examined here, consists of repairing a robot by removing a computer and replacing a defective hard-drive. To cope with the complexity of...
While mobile devices are becoming more and more powerful, the number of potential security threats is increasing. Although the important role of users in the realization of IT security measures is widely acknowledged and documented, research in the area of mobile security mostly concentrates on technical means. In this work we take the first step in examining the role of the users in the IT security...
During recent years, 3G network techniques and cloud computing technology have obtained rapid development and provided new thinking for M-learning development. Based on the analysis on present M-learning mode, the paper introduces WebOS-M-Learning, a kind of new mode for M-learning based on 3G and cloud computing technology. By discussing on its characteristics, feasibility, influence and support...
The following document describes the way Mobile ELM works and what is its real life applicability in mobile equipment industry. The solution presented by us has the main advantage that it can use Bluetooth communication in order to create a communication channel between software that monitors hardware components, and our application that signals every undesirable behavior. In this way in the future...
Mobile computing represents yet another significant paradigm shift in computing. On a very fundamental level, it is changing the way computing integrates into our daily lives, and also impacts what we should be teaching future computer scientists in our classrooms. In this paper establish our rationale for including mobile technology content in our CS courses. We then summarize our experiences to-date...
