Search interfaces have for a long time been targeted at the resource-rich languages such as English. However, due to the increase in use of mobile phones in developing countries, these interfaces can now be adapted to languages in these settings to support information access on the Web. In this study, we propose two mobile search interfaces — text and voice — to support isiXhosa speakers to search...
A/B testing is the experiment strategy, which is often used on web or mobile application development. In A/B testing, a developer has to implement multiple variations of application, assign each variation to a subset of the entire user population randomly, and analyze log data to decide which variation should be used as a final product. Therefore, it is challenging to keep the application code clean...
In this paper, we designed software which is short for "Looking for partners". It is a kind of social media software. The majority users of the software are the college students. The novelty of this software lays in the personal interests-based friends match patterns when a user wants to add friends. The software also could support both online and offline communications with achieving the...
Mobile medical apps play an important role within the healthcare industry. Developers of mobile medical apps need to understand what is required when a mobile application fulfils the definition of a medical device. Such applications have to be developed in compliance with medical device regulations. This can be a challenge for mobile medical application developers as medical device software is normally...
In this paper, we demonstrate a system for automated trans- formation rule application in mobile system development. Our application enables correctness and consistency of the automated transformation rules, by leveraging Egyed's work [2] on automated model transformation. Our approach is im- plemented viafinite state automation generation, extending from our previous work.
During the mobile app development cycle, User-Interface (UI) components rendered by the mobile app are typically validated against high-fidelity mockups by manually comparing screens from a mockup design to screens developed in the app. This validation most often takes the time of the lead designer, resulting in many post-sprint defects and tasks that must be folded into the next sprint iteration...
Mobile Developers commonly spend a significant amount of time and effort on conducting code reviews on newly introduced and domain-specific practices, such as platform-specific feature addition, quality of service anti-pattern refactorings, and battery-related bug fixes. To address these problems, we conducted a large empirical study over the software change history of 318 open source projects and...
This talk presents results on analysis and testing of mobile apps and app stores, reviewing the work of the UCL App Analysis Group (UCLappA) on App Store Mining and Analysis. The talk also covers the work of the UCL CREST centre on Genetic Improvement, applicable to app improvement and optimisation.
This paper implemented the web-based GIS Hotels Business Tourism Site in Khartoum state. The motivation as well as the problem statement is the lack of spatial data and geographical informations of Business Hotels tourism in Khartoum state, hence, lead to the unavailability of web based Business Hotels tourism, also the lack of research papers in this field. One of important goal is the way of supporting...
This paper proposes a multi-lingual enhanced Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) system named “MulLinR,” which is an attempt for language-specific problems of existing RSVP tools. We design and build a prototype system, which currently only supports Japanese, and experiment with variation of presentation time intervals. Experimental results suggests 400 milliseconds is the most suitable time interval...
Application generators simplify software development and make it possible to develop a single application for different platforms by using the same project. User Interface Design Patterns (UIDPs) facilitate interaction between the application and the user and provide the opportunity to build high-quality software. Furthermore, many studies have reported an increase in the use of both mobile devices...
This paper presents method for acquisition and processing status data of mobile devices. In this research smartphone, tablet PC, VANET or MANET nodes are regarded as mobile devices. The proposed method utilizes gathering information about state of hardware modules and network around the mobile device. Then the acquired information is processed in order to determine the metrics of mobile device which...
In this paper, we have developed a mobile application for Ukrainian users with a possibility to create custom dictionaries. The system allows user to learn specific technical terms, especially in the field of Computer Aided Design. The iOS Databases were analyzed for storing custom dictionaries. The analysis software to create the user interface. A comparative analysis of various software tools for...
Influence maximization refers to the number of influenced nodes reach to maximum by finding a set of seed nodes in social network. Due to peoples' excessive concentration of attention, sometimes, negative effects will appear during the influence propagation. However, the negative effects on influence propagation are not involved in the existing research work. In this paper, we consider the influence...
Mobile computing offers several benefits which could help construction workers improve efficiency and productivity. However, the uptake of the technology is quite low in the industry, with little research on key constraint factors and the priority needs of the construction workforce. This study aimed to achieve three key objectives: 1) to identify the smartphone operating systems used by construction...
Nowadays, the manufacturing industry is facing several challenges to retain their competitiveness, particularly in producing a high quality products at a lower cost of operation. Engineering division as a part of the most important team in manufacturing is responsible for ensuring the production operation not be interrupted by any technical issues which can affects the company's profit margin or may...
We consider a scenario where several WLAN users in a moving vehicle, such as in a train, are accessing internet using WLAN APs installed in the train. In addition to WLAN APs, there are also multiple mobile routers installed in that train. Here, a mobile router communicates with WLAN APs in the train and with LTE eNodeBs outside the train. A mobile router supports LTE User Equipment (UE) or modem...
According to the human physiological sensor communication needs of transmitting information rapidly and gathering data to the information node conveniently, the mobile's feature of communication fast and use easily is used as the gathering node for forwarding data and applying data. The study on the implementation methods of wireless sensor data interface and the open-frame of the software are carried...
The article touches aspects of security in Wireless Sensor Networks. It begins with a review and classification of existing types of threats and protection methods. The main part of the paper presents the results obtained during development of a threat detection system for WSN network. The described approach is based on a mobile platform which allows separation of security mechanisms and the software...
According to a recent report [1], in 2015 alone, the revenue generated from mobile applications is expected to reach $100 billion. This figure indicates that one cannot neglect the potential of mobile application development business. Yet, despite this huge potential there is no calibrated and validated model for estimating the effort required to develop a new mobile application. In this paper, we...
