In this paper, the use of pre-safety assessment and testing, the overall consideration of the Internet area within the business area security needs, after the security incident analysis and response to the security platform for continuous...
In this paper, we leverage two large-scale real-world datasets to provide the first results on the limits of predictability of cellular data traffic demands generated by individual users over time and space. Using information theory tools, we measure the maximum predictability that any algorithm has potential to achieve. We first focus on the predictability of mobile traffic consumption patterns in...
Human behaviors may change over time, but people always tend to preserve their preference. People typically like similar types of contents, for example, movies that they watch in regular intervals with the same amount of interests. On the other hand, the Internet is moving towards a content-oriented structure from the host-oriented structure. Content-Centric Networking (CCN), a content-oriented paradigm,...
The provision of Internet connectivity for a vehicle anywhere anytime is an essential element to realize the vision of Connected Car. However, we observe that the current vehicular network technologies mainly focus on single-hop communications having limited coverage for the Internet connectivity. Accordingly, in order to support the always Internet connectivity, multi-hop routing that can cover wider...
This paper presents a study of mobile device literacy in Senegal within the context of the AppliCafé project. Research in this area has been mostly conducted in Anglophone countries. We designed a kiosk structure that we call AppliCafé (derived from the term cyber café) that can move between locations and is equipped with mobile technology, including training videos and a mobile application. This...
This paper presents a case study of a university campus in Kiziba refugee camp in Rwanda. It evaluates different aspects of this university as a unique example of education in an extreme environment.

The main objective of this research project was to identify factors promoting the adoption of m-health and determine usability challenges in the existing m-health applications in Kenya. Specifically the study aimed at i) establishing the factors promoting adoption of M-health and, ii) determining the usability challenges in m-health applications in Kenya. Consequently an M-health prototype application...
Web-based E-Learning uses Internet technologies and digital media to deliver education content to learners. Many universities in recent years apply their capacity in producing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). They have been offering MOOCs with an expectation of rendering a comprehensive online apprenticeship. Typically, an online content delivery process requires an Internet connection. However,...
Many digital healthcare services now follow the cybermedicine approach. The Internet is used to deliver such services as medical consultations, diagnosis, and prescriptions. Mobile services provide end-users (patients) with online and personalized access to consultations and treatment with other end-users (medical professionals). Services become social, taking into account the activity of patients...
In this paper we present the report on the design and development of a platform for the inter-generational exchange of favors. This platform was designed using participatory design approach during a 24-hour hackathon by a team consisting of younger programmers and older adults. The findings of this report show that inter-generational cooperation in which the older adults serve as representatives of...
Emerging services for Intelligent Transport Systems put the information content at the centre of the communication process, require a seamless support of mobile users, and target a real-time and asynchronous data dissemination. The Information-Centric Networking paradigm has all the potentials to fulfill these requirements, thanks to its ability to distribute contents through publish-subscribe communication...
This paper presents an IoT (Internet of Things) system designed to allow the monitoring and control of parameters of the users' vehicles, anytime and anywhere in the world, through the Internet.
