In recent years content aware mobile application are boomed. Both, research activities and business focus are kept on the information about physical space understand as proximity (Bluetooth), geographical location (GPS) and movement (accelerometer). Growing computational power of mobile devices allow researchers to make a step further and design application which ”feel what their user feels”. T...

In this paper, we implement a dehazing algorithm using dark pixel detection in MatLab and C++/OpenCV. The algorithm is originally proposed in Yu et al.’s paper. The simplicity and effectiveness of the algorithm make it possible for us to run the C++/OpenCV implementation on Android phones through android NDK with reasonable speed. Keywords—dehaze; image processing; mobile application; computer ...

The purpose of this paper is to present a description based mashup approach for integration of mobile applications, Web services, and Web applications in order to realize cooperation of mobile devices. We define a description language called C-MAIDL for describing logic of mashup. We use a mashup generator for generating mashup applications from the description. We aim to allow composition of e...

In this contribution to the ongoing early discussions about mobile and personal projectors we assess the state of the art using our grounding in previous user-centred work in urban environments, virtual heritage and museums. From this assessment we isolate the projector phone as a uniquely interesting new device and put forward a series of discussion points relating to three key conceptual issu...

Smartphones have become commonplace in today’s society. There seems to be a mobile application for every conceivable use, expect one. Smartphones have been conspicuously absent in higher education. This research examines the use of mobile applications (apps) in the higher education setting. In addition, it evaluates the potential for including smartphone application development in undergraduate...

Developments of mobile mashup applications have a rapid growth in the recent years. We present a development of Mobile Application Interface Description Language (MAIDL) and its applications. The language enables the development of mobile mashup applications with less programming efforts. Using our description language, composers are able to reuse existent mobile applications, Web services, and...

During recent years, mobile phone companies have experienced market-related difficulties that result in increasing competition globally. In an attempt to maintain or increase their market share, enterprises reorganize their resources and employ new technologies to sharpen their competitive edges. Moreover, with the globalization, more and more companies become multi-sited. Efficient and timely ...

The spread of mobile devices in modern societies has forced the industry to create software paradigms to meet the new challenges it faces. Some of these challenges are the huge heterogeneity of devices or the quick changes of users’ context. In this scenario, context becomes a key element, enabling mobile applications to be user centric and adapt to user requirements. The Mobile Context Framewo...

Mobile devices such as notebooks and PDAs are very interesting tools for web-based teaching and distant teaching today. We have adapted Web-based remote laboratory environments to mobile devices like PDAs and smartphones to remotely control a Pioneer 3 AT mobile robot.

The growth in Internet usage has become increasingly important to adolescents who now use it with more frequency to search for health related information. Parallel to this growth, mobile devices have become progressively more flexible and capable of handling an increased range of functionality. They have begun to be viewed as a viable means of improving communication between health practitioner...
