What is the potential of mobile edutainment applications introduced in the informal learning environment of the museum setting? This short paper proposes to shed light on this issue by presenting a design reiteration of a mobile edutainment application designed for a European Science Museum, by particularly insisting on the ways the design, implementation and evaluation of a first mobile seriou...

Background Research projects often involve observation, registration, and data processing starting from information obtained in field experiments. In many cases, these tasks are carried out by several persons in different places, times, and ways, adding different levels of complexity and error in data collecting. Furthermore, data processing can be time consuming, and input errors may produce u...

This study tries to identify the determinants of user’s attitude toward apps, intention to use and continual consuming intention. This study holds the two main constructs: (1) user’s intrinsic determinantsvalue, innovativeness, gender, Well-being and superordinate influence on the attitude toward mobile apps, (2) the relation between attitude and app purchase & repurchase intention, and the aff...

This paper reviews some research initiatives to allow situated learning through the use of computer-supported mobile activities. The article also describes the development of a learning activity based on the situated learning theory, which makes use of a mobile application to help students to relate learning activities inside the classroom with activities performed in the field and at home. The...

Over the past few years, the character of the AI community has changed. AI researchers used to be able to go about their work in peace, while the rest of the world ignored them. As the promise of practical applications of AI has slowly become reality, new players have entered the field, changing its nature forever. The quiet, intellectual community of AI researchers has been augmented by a hoar...

In this position paper, we present MoCCha, a mobile campus application used not only as a subject of research, but as a research platform for a number of scientific disciplines. Following the approach of using an app that is available from a mobile application store, we want to study user behavior in the field with the aim for ecological validity that humansubject studies in lab environments ar...

University for a number of helpful suggestions. The authors want to especially thank Gail Parr of the National Center for Health Statistics for constructing the restricted-use version of the Mortality Detail Data we use for this project.

An objective method was developed to analyze longwave and shortwave trough lines in wind field data using different methods, given that these trough lines were researched in different ways. Longwave trough lines were analyzed by locating the cyclonic center and filtering candidate trough points simultaneously; the candidate longwave trough points were then traced based on distance and angle con...
