As the result of recent progress in technology of communication robot, robots are becoming an important social partner for humans. Behavioral synchrony is understood as an important factor in establishing good human-robot relationships. In this study, we hypothesized that biasing a human's attitude toward a robot changes the degree of synchrony between human and robot. We first examined whether...

The need for increased performance of mobile device directly conflicts with the desire for longer battery life. Offloading computation to multiple devices is an effective method to reduce energy consumption and enhance performance for mobile applications. Android provides mechanisms for creating mobile applications but lacks a native scheduling system for determining where code should be execut...

Nowadays, agents may run on different hardware platforms, which is a useful approach in Ubiquitous Computing in order to achieve intelligent agents embedded in the environment. This approach can be considered the vision of an Intelligent Ambient. In this paper, a new agent model “specially” designed for the recent Android Google SDK is presented, where the Android mobile phone can be considered...

Mobile devices such as cellular phones (CPs) are crucial in our daily life. A lot of work has been done to handle the problems of designing and developing of GUI and applications for CPs. In this paper, we survey the existing strategies to design and implement of GUI for CPs. In addition, the paper reviews the methods to develop the applications for CPs and the guidelines to overcome the proble...

As the mobile platform pervades human life, much research in recent years has focused on improving the reliability of mobile applications on this platform, for example by applying automatic testing. However, researchers have primarily considered testing of single version of mobile applications. Although regression testing has been extensively studied for desktop applications, and many efficient...

Android being a leading and the most popular operating system for smart phones and tablets, has also become a prime target for the attackers due to its growing users and it being an open source platform. This document describes the work done in detecting malware in the Android platform by performing static analysis on the permission based framework in Android platform. In our work, we have extr...

! Abstract ! We present a DSP simulation environment that will enable students to perform laboratory exercises using Android mobile devices and tablets. Due to the pervasive nature of the mobile technology, education applications designed for mobile devices have the potential to stimulate student interest in addition to offering convenient access and interaction capabilities. This paper describ...

Nowadays, as the developing of hardware for cellular phones is becoming much better, the performance index is significantly higher than the legitimate specifications of the software configuration. Features of Mobile phone's depends completely on software. As the Android operating system is getting considerably prominent, the application based around Android SDK appeals to much more attention. B...

The proliferation of Android devices brings the fragmentation problem. Selecting and prioritizing major device models are critical for mobile app developers to select testbeds and optimize various issues such as quality-assurance, release planning, revenues, and so on. PRADA, an approach proposed in our previous work, was designed to help prioritizing Android devices for apps. In this paper, we...

The presence of mobile devices has increased in our lives offering almost the same functionality as a personal computer. Android devices have appeared lately and, since then, the number of applications available for this operating system has increased exponentially. Google already has its Android Market where applications are offered and, as happens with every popular media, is prone to misuse....
