Mobile devices create learning opportunities to which you cannot remain indifferent. If you combine these capabilities to specific needs of students and teachers, you will be on the path towards academic success. It was in this context that Letrinhas arose, an information system aimed at improving students' reading literacy developed by the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (IPT) in response to a challenge...
Existing mobile money architectures overlooked value storage and everyday money practices of individuals. They mainly deal with payment related issues and procedures based on bank accounts. They also targeted urban people, who have banking and technology know-how. Based on this knowledge gap, this research intends to explore, analyze, and identify design concepts for mobile money information system...
This paper revisits the social influence construct in the era of ubiquitous computing. Despite its rather broad origins in psychology, social influence has to date been operationalized rather narrowly in the information technology adoption literature. We report on a study of mobile technology users in which we studied various social influences on these individuals. We isolate four distinct variants...
Utilizing mobile applications in the area of industrial field service promises several benefits, especially improved process support due to a tight integration of mobile workers and tailored information support. In this paper, we describe four mobile service business patterns derived from two industrial case studies. The first case study deals with the seamless integration of service engineers, while...
Although the mobile shopping is convenient for our daily life, some people still discontinue their usage of mobile shopping approach even they already have the experience. The purpose of this study is to understand the factors of mobile shopping continuance. With the survey method, 500 college students of mobile phone users were surveyed and 244 effective questionnaires were obtained for survey analysis...

It examines key features of the technology and the systems, shows multiple methods of accessing mobile content as well as future research potentials.
The proliferation of mobile computing devices and local-area wireless networks has fostered a growing interest in location-aware systems and services. We consider location as prime form of context information. The developed framework joins the concepts of location and user tracking as an extension for a new type of mobile information systems. The framework uses a WiFi network infrastructure to let...
To perform, heterogeneous teams must build a common knowledge base that enables collaboration. This paper explores the opportunity to use shared physical space as the mediator par excellence for learning and information sharing among mobile workers of a heterogeneous team. This research focuses on indoor environments that condition the tasks to be performed. Building on the ideas of location-based...
