More mobile users access to cloud-based services via wireless network recently, however connections between mobile device and cloud are unreliable as wireless network is unstable and dead spots won't completely disappear. On the other hand, mobile devices are growing rapidly with faster computing power and longer battery time. Code component migration between the mobile client and the cloud is proposed...
The use of Student Response Systems (SRS) has been shown to increase student attendance, participation, and learning. Prevailing systems at universities are typically SRS that require installation of software by the university and purchasing of “clickers”. Thus, the adoption of SRS usually requires a sizable initial investment. Given the diffusion of mobile phones and wide-spread use of mobile technology...
Currently, we can observe the growing of the use of mobile devices as a media for both Internet access and carrying out purchase and sale of products and services. Commonly, E- commerce platforms are enabled by either proprietary systems or by buying ads on specialized websites. This scenario involves the adoption of strategies based on e-commerce servers, which represent a non-scalable strategy....
Mobile payments are an enabling technology for mobile commerce as well as for electronic commerce and their usage is therefore important for the success of emerging business.

Social relationships defined by phone calls made between people can be grouped into various relationship types or categories, such as family members, co-workers, etc. We propose and evaluate a method that predicts the "relationship type" between a pair of mobile phone subscribers using features that abstract their communication behavior and social network patterns. Our dataset consists of...
We are living at the beginning of a new Era of “Knowledge Society” in which tremendous changes are undergoing in education. Ways of acquiring new knowledge have been strongly influenced by the ICT by which we are surrounding every day by almost every aspect of our live. The rapid grow of mobile devices has been dramatically changed the way we communicate and we get information and without no doubt...
Abstract-With the rapid development of cellular mobile communication network, it provides a good chance to access to the Internet for so many Mobile Intelligent Terminals via the cellular network. Through this medium, lots of terminals (mobile and stationary ones are included) would get or exchange message with entities on the internet. This article firstly builds a model that smart nodes link the...
This article introduced a new way to use, visit and order various mobile Internet services such as MMS, WAP browsing and mobile email, by single APN access. This method unified the business logic of both WAP access mode and Net access mode, and allowed people to use mobile Internet services without any setup. And also, some of the personal information could be transmitted to the application provider...
In the last years the rise of mobile devices and mobile applications alike changed the working environment massively. Within this realm mobile Business Intelligence (mobile BI) currently is one of the trending topics, however, until now very little conceptual work exists in this field. Therefore, we provide an overview of related work in the fields of business intelligence and mobility. Based on our...
The use of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies is growing rapidly in recently. Its applications have been in successful use for many years in public transport, ticketing and access control cards, and, more recently, government identity cards and passports, and in manufacturing supply chains management and logistics for goods distribution. However, RFID application is an initial stage...
Modern smart mobile devices offer media-rich and native features that are highly useful for e-book applications. In particular, many e-book application developers have chosen Apple's iOS mobile devices such as iPad, or iPhone as the target device to provide more creative and richer user experience, as evidenced by the rapidly increasing number of publication apps in Apple's App Store. In this paper,...
This study examines distribution methods of mobile applications in China. To address this, four research questions are proposed. Based on a sample from 262 respondents from the biggest city in central China, the results indicate that the most used mobile application in the Chinese market is instant messaging tools. It is found that majority of Chinese users are more likely to install mobile applications...
In this paper, we study the usability factors on two major mobile payment applications on two different service providers in Thailand. These two applications have a different unique selling point. One is a number one mobile phone service provider which is well known for excellent services and used to own by a formal prime minister. Another one is a famous bank which integrates technology into financial...
Mobile devices are gaining popularity due to their increasing functionality and usability, and their location and time independence. Consequently mobile technology has become important for both learners and educational institutions.
