To address the challenge arising from mobile users' increasing demands for multimedia services, applying content caching in heterogeneous networks (HetNets) is regarded as an effective way to offload traffic and improve the capacity of mobile networks. In this paper, we aim at designing novel content caching strategies in HetNets to offload the network traffic and support users' requests locally....
Recommendation algorithm has received extensive attention in recent years. It is very difficult to directly apply traditional recommendation algorithm to offer personalized recommendation based on mobile users' browsing behaviors and ensure security of mobile users' data. In this paper, through analysis of mobile users' browsing behaviors, we obtained the reason why traditional recommendation based...
The near future Internet of Things (IoT) allows devices to discover and to establish cooperation autonomously in an opportunistic manner. While the incentive service is available, the front-end inter-organisational devices may help each other not only on sharing information, but they can also share their Internet connection towards saving energy. Considering that different devices may have been configured...
Point of interest (POI) recommendation, a service which can help people discover useful and interesting locations has emerged rapidly with the development of location-based social networks (LBSNs), like Foursquare, Gowalla and Wechat. The large number of check-in histories make it possible to mine the preference of each user and then to provide accurate personalized POI recommendation. In real-world...
This paper proposed a new kind of online education mode, MOOE (Massive Open Online Experiment). MOOE was produced based on the thoughts of the Internet thinking and the opening-and-sharing resources and was the organic combination of MOOC and experimental teaching. The main contributions were made: (1) Instructed MOOE's concept and characteristics. MOOE build a network laboratory with the advanced...
By analyzing the common sparse problems of the score data in the collaborative filtering recommendation system, this paper presents a recommendation method for mobile networks based on user characteristics and user trust relationship. In this method, the similarity of user characteristic attributes is used to modify the similarity calculating of the original score. Then, according to the communication...
With the rapid development and application of the mobile Internet, huge amounts of user data are generated and collected every day. How to take full advantages of these ubiquitous data is becoming the essential aspect of a recommender system. Collaborative filtering (CF) has been widely studied and utilized to predict the interests of mobile users and to make proper recommendations. In this paper,...
Growth in the interconnectivity of the internet and mobile technology has paved the way for augmented reality (AR) to be used in apparel, engaging consumers through extended garment features, such as promotion, entertainment and information delivery. However, for this to achieve social acceptance, consumers have to be informed of the emerging technology and persuaded of its benefits. Using a qualitative...
This paper introduces the present situation of the construction of mobile learning resources in foreign countries, analyzes the mobile learning of open access resources to reveal and access methods, summarizes the Vocational Colleges of mobile learning resources construction present situation, as well as new media mobile resources in Higher Vocational Colleges and the significance of revealing acquisition.
The exponential increase in mobile data demand, coupled with growing user expectation to be connected in all places at all times, have introduced novel challenges for researchers to address. Fortunately, the wide spread deployment of various network technologies and the increased adoption of multi-interface-enabled devices allow researchers to develop solutions for those challenges. Such solutions...
One of the characteristics of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is the huge amount of participants. However, participants do not collaborate among them. Moreover, the results show that despite the existence of tools like forums and peer review activities, current MOOC platforms do not have mechanisms to support collaboration. According to the literature, there are 6 aspects to promote effective...
With the development of China's Internet economy, the rapid rise of mobile media, the Internet has become the first entrance to the user access to information. The value of traditional media information portal is weakening. Media convergence is increasingly becoming the road of traditional media to survival and develops. The breakthrough of radio and television media points in the mobile terminal...
Today the number of smart phone users is approximately 1.6 billion and with drastic improvement in internet technology, the way information is accessed and used is changed completely. Recommendation systems filter and recommend only relevant data to the user using different filtering techniques. Restaurant recommendation is one of the latest research area which requires further effort. In this paper,...
Crime incidents tend to increase steadily. To effectively respond to the incidents, police officers need to have a highly efficient incident reporting system. However, the telephone-based incident reporting system currently used has some limitations. It cannot cope with current problems and meet all requirements. Since mobile devices, especially smartphones, are prevalent, widely used and can transmit...
In this paper, the Gartner Group's hype cycle is used as the basis for categorizing and analyzing research on the educational use of ubiquitous computing. There are five phases of the hype cycle: the technology trigger, the peak of inflated expectations, the trough of disillusionment, the slope of enlightenment, and the plateau of productivity. Research on the educational use of mobile technology...
With the advance of mobile technologies, it has been easier for mobile devices to support collaborative activities. This opportunity brings about new possibilities to carry out mobile collaborative work and mobile learning (m-learning) which play an important role in relevant field. Researchers find that Process Support Systems (PSS) and Collaboration Engineering (CE) can benefit the collaborative...
Learning requires appropriate management of time and resources. Consequently, self regulated learning (SRL) becomes predominant and apparent (Bartolome et al., 2011; Lefrere, 2011). More and more educators at all educational levels are trying to enfold self regulated learning in the learning process (van Ewijk et al., 2012; Kramarski et al., 2009). The use of technology-based procedures transforms...
Facebook® is a popular social network. There are approximately 1 billion registered users as of 2013. On the other hand, developing countries are starting to take advan- tage of the free platform and capabilities provided through facebook. The Island Kingdom of Tonga located in the South Pacific is also taking advantage of this social network. The secondary students of the Kingdom of Tonga are also...
Accurate, reliable and actionable intelligence produced by smart environment assets is essential in order for dynamic operations such as emergency response or humanitarian relief to be effective. Leveraging Future Internet building block technologies, smart environments are ecosystems which seamlessly embed IT assets into physical world's objects that collect, process and disseminate operational data...
In this paper we describe the MoViE mobile video storytelling platform, related Global Sharing Pedagogy framework and present examples of their use in learning and education. MoViE, the Mobile Video Experience platform, is a research platform for studying how learners create mobile video stories and how they share and learn with mobile social media. MoViE supports collaborative video creation, as...
