Applications with street navigation have been recently introduced on mobile phone devices. A major part of existing systems use integrated GPS as input for indicating the location. However, these systems often fail or make abrupt shifts in urban environment due to occlusion of satellites. Furthermore, they only give the position of a person and not the object of his attention, which is just as important...
Situation awareness is a promising approach to recommend to a mobile user the most suitable resources for a specific situation. However, determining the correct user situation is not a simple task since users have different habits that may affect the way in which the situations arise. Thus, an appropriate tuning aimed at adapting the situation recognizer to the specific user is desirable to make a...
Mobile web browsing signifies accessing the content on web pages using a mobile device. It is common for Internet search engines to use keyword searching in which rank is assigned to each page based on several features. But it is an arduous task for a user to inscribe a keyword in such a delicate small mobile screen. A challenging research goal is the development of advanced web-based applications...
In this paper, we present a modified on-demand routing algorithm for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). The proposed algorithm is based on both the standard Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol and ant colony based optimization. The modified routing protocol is highly adaptive, efficient and scalable. The main goal in the design of the protocol was to reduce the routing overhead, response...
Due to the huge product assortments and complex descriptions of mobile products/services, it is a great challenge for new customers to select appropriate products. To solve this issue, a fuzzy matching based recommendation approach for mobile products/services is proposed in this paper. In this approach, a new customer's requirements are obtained through asking a set of questions and represented by...
Stress and its related comorbid diseases are responsible for a large proportion of disability worldwide. In particular, chronic stress is the main responsible for the dramatic increase of premature mortality in the Western countries. However, advanced simulation and sensing technologies, such as virtual reality and mobile biosensors offer interesting opportunities for innovative personal health-care...
This paper addresses the high cost of transmission over mobile networks, when educational content consists of multimedia files. The proposed solution adapts the multimedia content by changing the bit rate. In order to validate the proposed solution, a preliminary study has been performed. The results of the study show that in average a decrease of 79% in size was obtained for the multimedia content...
