Until now, mobile auctions are usually limited to be alert SMS messages sent via mo...

In the field of computer graphics, fluid-like motion is an important and challenging problem with many applications. Currently, the graphical performance and resolution of the mobile handset is highly improved; therefore, mobile 3D games and physically based animations are also more and more popular items in the mobile services. Yet interactive physically-based fluid simulation is still challen...

An increasing number of mobile phones feature embedded sensors such as GPS receivers, digital compasses or accelerometer-based tilt sensors. In this paper, we present an application framework for building spatially aware mobile applications – applications that visualize, process or exchange geospatial information – on mobile phones equipped with such sensors. The core component of the framework...

Mobile devices become widely accepted computing paradigms; but the mobile services need to be aware of the dynamical user environment and adapt accordingly to the context. With the increasing amount of multimedia, ontologies can add value to the new semantic multimedia services, by considering the contextual information. Our goal is to provide new concepts for mobile multimedia computing in cer...
