Mobile Web 2.0 Developing and Delivering Services to Mobile Devices Edited by Syed A Telecommunications / Digital & Wireless Communications Ahson Ilyas Mobile Web 2.0 Developing and Delivering Services to Mobile Devices Edited by Syed A. Ahson • Mohammad Ilyas Mobile Web Web Mobile From basic concepts to research grade material, Mobile Web 2.0: Developing and Delivering Services to Mobile Devices provides complete and up-to-date coverage of the range of technical topics related to Mobile Web 2.0. It brings together the work of 51 pioneering experts from around the world who identify the major challenges in Mobile Web 2.0 applications and provide authoritative insight into many of their own innovations and advances in the field. To help you address contemporary challenges, the text details a conceptual framework that provides modeling facilities for context-aware, multi-channel Web applications. It compares various platforms for developing mobile services—from the developer and user perspectives—and explains how to use high-level modeling constructs to drive the application development process through automatic code generation. • Proposes an expanded model of mobile application context • Explores mobile social software as an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) • Discusses the effect of context on mobile usability Through empirical study, the book tests a number of hypotheses on the use of software implementation technology and location context in mobile applications. 2.0 It introduces Reusable End-User Customization (REUC)—a technique that allows users to adapt the layout of Web pages and automatically reapplies those preferences on subsequent visits. It also investigates the need for non-visual feedback with long system response times, particularly when downloading Web pages to mobile devices.

Canny, Chair With an estimated 4.6 billion units in use, mobile phones have already become the most popular computing device in human history. Their portability and communication capabil- ities may revolutionize how people do their daily work and interact with other people in ways PCs have done during the past 30 years. Despite decades of experiences in creating modern WIMP (windows, icons, mouse, pointer) interfaces, our knowledge in building ef- fective mobile interfaces is still limited, especially for emerging interaction modalities that are only available on mobile devices. This dissertation explores how emerging sensors on a mobile phone, such as the built-in camera, the microphone, the touch sensor and the GPS module can be leveraged to make everyday interactions easier and more efficient.

Thomas Cochrane Unitec, New Zealand [email protected] Roger Bateman Unitec, New Zealand [email protected] Abstract Today, less than a billion people have access to computers, whereas around four billion people have access to mobile phones. At the same time, the nature of the Internet has been undergoing a revolution labelled ‘web 2.0’. Most web 2.0 tools are also designed to be mobile friendly, allowing reading and updating of web 2.0 content from mobile phones, and also featuring enhanced mobile affordances such as photo and video blogging (from cameraphones), and geotagging (from GPS equipped smartphones). Hence mobile web 2.0 provides a platform for wider access than traditional computing that is context independent, facilitating ‘authentic’ learning environments (A. Herrington & Herrington, 2007, 2006; Jan Herrington, Herrington, Mantei, Olney, & Ferry, 2009) beyond the boundaries of the traditional tertiary classroom.

Neue Formen der Interaktion mit Mobilen Geräten Hauptseminar Medieninformatik SS 2005 Technical Report LMU-MI-2005-2, Nov. 2005 ISSN 1862-5207 University of Munich Department of Computer Science Media Informatics Group Albrecht Schmidt, Paul Holleis, Matthias Kranz, Andreas Butz (Herausgeber) Neue Formen der Interaktion mit Mobilen Geräten Ein Überblick über Forschungsarbeiten im Bereich der Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion Vorwort In den letzten 10 Jahren haben sich massive Veränderungen im Bereich der Benutzungsschnittstellen vollzogen. Mit diesem Bericht über Neue Formen der Interaktion mit Mobilen Geräten wollen wir kompakt aktuelle Entwicklungen und Forschungstrends im Bereich Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion mit Schwerpunkt auf mobilen Geräten einem interessierten Fachpublikum zugänglich machen. Dazu analysieren Studenten und Mitarbeiter des Lehrstuhls Medieninformatik an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Beiträge und Veröffentlichungen aus zahlreichen Workshops, Konferenzen und wissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften. Diese Reihe an Texten wurde im Zusammenhang mit einem Hauptseminar im Sommersemester 2005 von Studenten erstellt. Jedes der einzelnen Kapitel greift ein Thema auf und stellt wesentliche Forschungs- trends in diesem Bereich in kurzen Artikeln in deutscher Sprache vor. Im Rahmen des Seminars wurde von den Studenten zu den jeweiligen Themen Vorträge gehalten, die die wesentlichen Inhalte noch einmal zusammenfassten. Die Folien zu diesen Vorträgen und weitere Informationen über die Veranstaltung können auf der Webseite http://www.hcilab.org/events/mobileinteraction/ eingesehen werden. Dieser Bericht richtet sich in erster Linie an Informatiker, Medieninformatiker, User Interface Designer und Studenten der Informatik und Medieninformatik. Betrachtet man den Trend auch Alltagsgegenstände (Kleidung, Kaffeemaschine, usw.) mit Technologie auszustatten und sie somit in Benutzungsschnittstellen zu verwandeln, erhält das Thema eine größere Tragweite.

  • Abstract There Has Been a Substantial Growth in Interest in Mobile Text Entry Over Recent Years, Among Both Researchers and Users
    Rhodes University Department of Computer Science Computer Science Honours Literature Review Principal Investigator: Edison Mukadah Supervisor: Greg Foster Co-Supervisor: Hannah Slay Mobile Interface Design and Predictive Text Algorithm For Improved Text Entry Abstract There has been a substantial growth in interest in mobile text entry over recent years, among both researchers and users. Increasingly mobile devices are being used to perform text-intensive applications, such as text messaging, creating a demand for more efficient and easier to use text entry methods. Unlike for desktop computing, no single standard mobile text entry method has emerged. The diversity of mobile devices makes it unlikely that this will occur in the near future. Thus, mobile text entry remains a very open area of research, providing a fertile environment for the development of innovative text entry methods. A necessary part of the development of a new mobile text entry method is a comparison of its performance with existing ones. A review of current best practice for the qualitative and empirical evaluation of mobile text entry methods is presented, alongside a classification of existing mobile text entry methods and the various ways to optimise text entry. A mobile interface that uses a scroll wheel will then be designed together with a predictive text algorithm by combining or improving the various techniques that will be examined by this literature review for improved text entry. Empirical tests will then be conducted to test the hypothesis that the new interface has a faster text entry input rate compared to the traditional Multi-Tap keypad. 1 Introduction 1.1 The Popularity of Mobile Devices Mobile computing devices popularity has escalated astronomically over the past years.
