By extending the model of IS continuance, this study examines the impact of system quality, information quality, process quality, and hedonic value on users' continuance behaviors in the context of information oriented mobile application.
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...
Ubiquitous computing technologies disclose new means for consumer product designs that allow products to adapt their behaviour and in particular communication to consumer needs and to interact with other products. In this sense, products become smart. Dialogues between products and consumers require new communicative product interfaces. Because unprecedented, we investigate an implementation of a...
In the context of telecommunications networks, the concept of self-organisation implies the introduction of functionalities that lead to the automation of network operational tasks and reduce the need for manual intervention, as well as the provision of DSA mechanisms and enhancement of radio resource management, improvement of QoS and QoE and reduction of OPEX. Based on the definitions of Self-Organising...
With the good customer foundation and increasing revenue, m-commerce is on the growing development stage. Although there are many literatures about the factors affecting customer intention in internet-based e-commerce contexts, it is necessary to do an empirical validation in m-commerce contexts. Factors of trust and social influence integrated to TAM were used in the conceptual model. Empirical data...
Mobile broadband services quickly emerged in some of the countries. This trend provides a rich opportunity for mobile video services. As the 3G services and data flat-rate services penetrate, various mobile video services emerge in Japan. The author presents the new business model examples that emerge. The author discusses the implications of the current mobile video service business in Japan. The...
Mobile commerce (M-commerce) is an attractive research area due to its relative novelty, rapid growth, and great potential in business applications. Unfortunately, there are a number of constraints effecting both performance and usability of mobile devices and network bandwidth. In addition, existing M-commerce applications are lack of fully automated business processes and still require significant...
In the pervasive system, it is important for its application to adapt to mobile devices. But most of pervasive systems are not quickly suitable for mobile device. In order to provide adaptive mobile services, the approach for self-adaptation is proposed in this paper. Firstly, context of mobile devices and its influence on pervasive application are analyzed and business rules based on this analysis...
Location is a kind of contextual information that is often realized through localization technologies in strict sense. The technologies such as WSNs provide geographical location as in Cartesian coordinates or in referenced landmarks, rendering a rigid and unilateral interface to multiple applications. A myriad of applications using localization technologies often do not require precise location,...
Collaborative filtering technology is the key technology of recommendation system. However, collaborative filtering technology has been suffering from sparsity that it needs mass ratings from users to improve precision. In traditional e-commerce, asking users to rate on their own initiative will degrade experience of users, let alone the mobile business environment. So, both in e-commerce and m-commerce,...
Objective of this research is to investigate customers' adoption of M-payments by examining the adoption determinants that are specific for the M-payment context. For this aim, we are going to review some adoption theories and previous studies which have been done in adoption of m-payment area and extract the most significant factors and finally develop appropriate model for Iranian customers. The...
User considerations are the major factor for the proliferation and increased acceptance of mobile commerce applications. Therefore, mobile service quality is influenced by the service provider's awareness and readiness to fulfill user expectations. This paper suggests an approach for assessing the qualitative parameters that characterize electronic services provided through mobile devices. It is based...
Location-based services (LBS) provide geographic data for a variety of purposes, and through numerous devices such as mobile phones, GPS navigation systems, palm pilots and increasingly desktop computers. Presently, there is scant information relating to the current state of the LBS market, specifically location-based service applications in Australia. This study makes use of usability context analyses...
With the popularization of mobile devices and the rapidly development of LBS, users concern on privacy aroused by services depending on personal location information needed. To strengthen the current research in LBS, combine time management theory and rational choice theory, this paper aims to explore the effect of situational antecedent factors-perceived emergency and perceived essentiality on perceived...
Much of the human activity defines information context and it can be effectively used for a matching process of context-aware mobile advertising systems. Although prior context-aware mobile advertising systems employed personalized and context sensitive approaches, they have mostly used simply aggregated user-side context information from sensors and have relied on previously prepared inference rules...
The issue of digital identity is at the heart of many contemporary strategic innovations, covering crime, internal and external security, business models etc. The area of MANets (Mobile Ad-hoc Networks) is still in its infancy in the research community, but it plays a vital role surrounded by the growing trend of mobile technology for business, private and governmental uses. The emergent notion of...
Mobile-enabled social networks applications are becoming increasingly popular. Most of the current social network applications have been designed for high-end mobile devices, and they rely upon features such as GPS, capabilities of the World Wide Web, and rich media support. However, a significant fraction of mobile user base, especially in the developing world, own low-end devices that are only capable...
User interface is one of the main challenges for designing mobile application. The importance of user interface is all about to retain user's loyalty which can be gained by offer user friendly interface and usability. The research focus on main issues of designing mobile application which is "how to display all the information and elements on the small screen of mobile device?". This research...
Telecommunication and Internet services are constantly subject to changes, seeking the customer's full satisfaction. Enriching these services with innovative approaches such as context-aware, mobile, adaptable and interactive mechanisms, enables users to experience a variety of personalized services seamlessly across different platforms and technologies. In this sense, advertising is not exception,...
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Services) will become one of the most basic services of mobile communication as well as a promising m-commerce enabling service. In our study, we assumed that psychological traits are key determinants of behavioral intentions to employ pay-per-use information services, especially for MMS. Social cognitive theory and social influence theory are widely accepted, empirically...
