While the modeling of QoE has made significant advances over the last couple of years, currently existing models still lack an integration of user behavior aspects and user context factors along with the consideration of appropriate temporal scales. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to present a comprehensive QoE and user behavior model providing a framework which allows joining a multitude of...
The Internet of things(IoT) is considered to be the next step in the revolution of internet, the combination of the Internet and emerging technologies such as nearfield communications, real-time localization, and embedded sensors,which lets us transform everyday objects into smart objects that can understand and react to their environment.With an increasing diversity of RFID devices integrated in...
This paper reviews what theoretical models of technology evaluation are used in mobile work context. We examine how these models are extended to take mobility and organisational contexts into account. We found that most of the extensions were related to mobile task and mobile technology aspects but also costs, impacts and organisational viability were added. The paper provides discussion on the strengths...
Whether or not mobile Internet services add value depends on the context and objective in which they are used. In this paper, we examine whether consumer attitudes towards the added value of mobile services in specific contexts has a positive impact on their general intention to adopt mobile Internet services, by analyzing the results of a large-scale consumer survey. The results indicate that context-of-use...
Technology diffusion theory is mainly focused on technology adoption, while prerequisites to such adoption are largely disregarded or taken for granted. The study argues that the in-depth analysis of what comes prior to adoption and use of technology – what we define “technology activation” – is equally important, so as to spot industry-specific characteristics that enable or hinder a value proposition...
This paper identifies and discusses a set of conceptual issues relating to institutional strategies for enabling the embedding of learner-centric hybrid learning processes within educational institutions. Starting with the Ecology of Resources model of learning, we identify "filters" that limit the adoption of new and hybrid learning processes in formal contexts. The related "boundary"...
This paper addresses the problem of developing a way to conceptualize context that can support the development of technology-rich learning activities. The term technology-rich encompasses mobile, hybrid and on-line learning approaches and the work reported here is intended to bridge these different approaches. In this paper we suggest that a learner specific definition of context can ground research...
Users may use a mobile service in various contexts. It is critical to study how users' perceptions and intentions are affected by context. We discuss the definition and structure of context, then propose a contextual acceptance model of mobile commerce based on TAM. We apply this model to the case of a GPS-based taxi-dispatching system. Preliminary data analysis illustrates that context has significant...
