Android has become the most widely used mobile operating system (OS) in recent years. There is much research on methods for detecting malicious Android applications. Dynamic analysis methods detect such applications by evaluating their behaviour during execution. However, such mechanisms may be ineffective as malware is often able to disable antimalware software. This paper presents the design of...
In the last decade we have witnessed the birth and dramatic growth of mobile devices, from cellular-to smart-phones. Despite the huge amount of information achievable from an always-connected reality, researchers that work in the mobile devices field fight against the impossibility to explore, inspect and test their work on such a vast set of possible environments, use case scenarios, hardware and...
One of the main constraints on mobile devices is the battery lifetime. In recent years the problem has been detected as an energy gap between mobile applications and battery of mobile devices. There have been several studies to detect which are the main causes of energy consumption while mobile applications are running. Furthermore, several strategies are designed to reduce energy consumption. Also...
Adaptive Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) are used to improve the interaction between users and interfaces by taking into account the state of the user and the system. This paper describes a solution that enables the generation of adaptable HMIs applying web application technologies in the Android Operating Systems. The solution is based on an Adaptive Human Machine Interface Engine, and in this article...
With the advent of GPS and the spread of smart phones (iPhone, Android, etc.) have proliferated applications dealing with geographic information. Many of these applications are beginning to provide semantic information through: 1) the classification of tourist attractions in categories (thesauri tourism categories Open Street Map, etc.), and 2) the representation of metadata (Linked Geo Data, Crossing,...
With the rapid development of Internet, wireless communication and the camera-capable portable devices, digital images are easily distributed, copied and modified. This aspect is now so important that image content protection has become a major security issue. In recent years, fragile watermarking has been used as a technique to achieve image authentication and tampering localization. The main purpose...
This paper shows the importance and benefit of coupling cloud computing with mobile especially due to power limitations that mobile devices exhibit. Moreover, the work done shows that mobile computing can be applied for educational purposes, where a tool for students termed Mobi4Ed is presented. This educational tool aims at exploiting the concept of cloud computing in the context of image and video...
As mobile devices have become more powerful and pervasive, mobile computing has become more important. As the market share of mobile operating systems steadily grows and more IT applications are developed and deployed on mobile devices, this will become a larger and increasing part of professional IT practice. Consequently IT students should gain experience creating and deploying mobile applications...
