The popularity of mobile devices and the opportunity to learn regardless of time and place make mobile learning an important method in lifelong learning. However, acceptance of mobile learning by learners is crucial to the success of mobile learning. The objective of this study is to investigate main determinants of mobile learning acceptance in higher education in China. Based on the unified theory...
With the proliferation of smart phones, mobile applications (APPs) are increasingly being used for mobile work and entertainment. In order to satisfy people's various demands, there are enormous mobile applications being delivered through different mobile application markets. This brings markets owners huge opportunities and tough challenges simultaneously. It is very difficult to find proper APPs...
With the widely use of smart devices and rapid development of communication technologies, it becomes easier for base stations to obtain the context information of users. The context information can be utilized to optimize system resource allocation. This paper focuses on context- aware unicast cellular networks. Assuming that some channel state information (CSI) can be predicted based on user context...
Mobile marketing is a relatively easy and inexpensive way to promote products. This paper evaluates influential factors that motivate consumers in responding to mobile marketing with the consideration of context receiving time and location. A mobile marketing context model, with Technology acceptance model (TAM) and Commitment-trust Theory being adopted, is developed to facilitate purchasing intention...
The success of traditional learning is based on the individual use of learning tools, depending on the learners' personality. But modern eLearning is disregarding this major fact. By using learning analytics, this paper examines the correlation between personality traits of the user and preferred learning tools in an eLearning scenario. The investigation is based on a field study with 992 participants...
This paper addresses recommending presentation sessions at smart conferences to participants. We propose a venue recommendation algorithm: socially aware recommendation of venues and environments (SARVE). SARVE computes correlation and social characteristic information of conference participants. In order to model a recommendation process using distributed community detection, SARVE further integrates...
Current research environments are witnessing high enormities of presentations occurring in different sessions at academic conferences. This situation makes it difficult for researchers (especially juniors) to attend the right presentation session(s) for effective collaboration. In this paper, we propose an innovative venue recommendation algorithm to enhance smart conference participation. Our proposed...
Cellular systems operate under restrictive constraints of resources including radio channel capacity and network processing capability. The tremendous growth in the cellular data network usage brings operators with unprecedented signaling overloads and threatens the stability of the network. Understanding the characteristics of the subscribers who are resource inefficient has an important significance...
Regional-oriented social network services (R-SNSs) are being developed for sharing regional-oriented information. In prior work, the authors proposed a new dispatch and navigation model (DN model) -based system. The DN model was used for dispatching regional-oriented information to some access points and then navigating mobile users from one of the access points to a destination. The access points...
We proposed SMALL (Seamless Mobile-Assisted Language Learning Support System) seeking for seamless language learning in our previous study. In this paper, we describe how far we have developed the system for the realization of seamless learning. As our first step, we aim to support English vocabulary learning, since vocabulary learning is one of the fundamental aspects of language learning. The initial...
This paper studies the encounter patterns and online connections of 76 users in an indoor location sharing and online interaction social network application, to seek underlying relationship between users' offline behaviors and online social behaviors. We create an indoor location and proximity-based mobile social network system called Find & Connect that collects and records current indoor location...
Location obfuscation using cloaking regions preserves location anonymity by hiding the true user among a set of other equally likely users. Furthermore, a cloaking region should also guarantee that the type of queries issued by users within the region are mutually diverse enough. The first requirement is fulfilled by satisfying location k-anonymity while the second one is ensured by satisfying query...
We build a Student-Partner mobile English learning system. We go deep into the campus to do English learning by portable of the mobile. The system offer the GPS function, campus map, camera, messaging, tracking and recording. Students can post the message or add the multimedia which he explore to the device. In the mobile, user can off-line to post the message. In addition, we design two activities,...
In the (mobile) communications domain, Quality of Experience (QoE) has become the ultimate metric influencing the success or failure of new applications and services. Since it is increasingly argued in the literature that QoE should be seen as a multi-dimensional concept, this paper focuses on QoE from an interdisciplinary perspective. In this paper, we discuss a framework that can be used for the...
A common challenge for applications requiring information and knowledge fusion is the conversion of data streams into knowledge adapted to the context of usage. In the context of the project Integrated Mobile Security Kit, this paper focuses on the knowledge fusion sub-system. It integrates different fusion aspects based on a common domain model and embedded into a distributed and mobile infrastructure...
