Contextual information such as spatial location can significantly enhance the utility of mobile applications. We introduce the concept of active preferences that represent a comb...
Our work aims to address the problems of designing health assistant applications that run on mobile devices. We discuss the lessons learnt through the design of a mobile applicati...
In Europe we live in an increasingly ageing society and solutions that help that ageing society to self care in context are a major goal for the EU and UK governments. Given this ...
Major software companies, such as Apple and Google, are disturbing the relatively safe and established actors of the mobile application business. These newcomers have caused signi...
The use of mobile applications is increasing rapidly. Particularly, mobile applications for decision support systems, such as mobile datawarehouses, are very attractive. However, ...
Fourth generation mobile networks will allow end-users to roam over different network technologies, such as UMTS, CDMA2000 and Wi-Fi. These mobile networks make it possible to dete...

This paper describes experiences from using a field testing technique for collecting user experience information for evaluating mobile applications used in everyday life. Our tech...
Distributed mobile applications operate on devices with diverse capabilities, in heterogeneous environments, where parameters such as processor, memory and network utilisation, are...
As mobile applications become more pervasive, the need for assessing their quality, particularly in terms of efficiency (i.e. performance and resource utilisation), increases. Alt...
While dedicated technologies such as e.g., Sun’s J2ME MIDP offer a simple programming model for mobile applications, appropriate support for modularizing the implementation of t...
