▼ With
mobile phones almost being ubiquitous in most communities, the electronic payment industry has realised the potential of using
mobile phones as devices that can be used to conduct electronic payments. This realisation has led to an increase in the number of
mobile payment solutions, which are being deployed for use by the public. However, these
mobile payment solutions have not been widely adopted, especially by the citizens who are residing in the townships. Thus, this study investigates the factors that inhibit township residents from adopting
mobile payments. The study was done at the Soshanguve township on the outskirts of Pretoria in Gauteng, South Africa. The study adopted a mixed method approach to collect data. Phase 1 relied on the interviews from a few selected individuals to collect the initial data, once this process was complete; a questionnaire (Phase 2) was developed and distributed to the general community of Soshanguve for data collection, which was qualitatively and quantitatively analysed.the diffusion and use of
mobile payments in the townships. Some of the factors are as follows:
mobile payments are not easy to use; lack of products to purchase using
mobile payments; high costs associated with using
mobile payment solutions; lack of trialability of
mobile payment solutions; and lack of awareness of
mobile payment providers in the townships. The study proposes several guidelines that could help developers and operators of
mobile payment solutions to design and deploy their solutions in such a way that they are suitable for consumption by the users in township communities. Proposed guidelines are as follows: (1) when a
mobile payment solution is launched, effort should be made to market it to the target market; (2) potential adopters of
mobile payments should be able to try it without incurring any financial penalties; (3)
mobile payments should be easier to use; (4)
mobile payment security features should be apparent to the potential adopters in order to alleviate their fears; (5)
mobile payment solutions should be designed according to the needs of the target market as one size fits all does not work; (6)
mobile payment solutions should fulfill a need which is not met by the current alternatives or it should offer more value than the existing alternatives; (7) the cost of conducting
mobile payments should be affordable; and (8) the regulator should develop legislation that stimulates innovation and competition while ensuring the security of
mobile payments.

▼ Along with the emerging
mobile telecommunicationãtechnology,
mobile telecommunication industry has developed the different service from the traditional pronunciation communication. Applications of multimedia, data transmission and so on have changed people's life greatly.
For consumer, the
mobile phone is not only the telephone conversation machine, but also is one kind of drawing close to life tool, the status symbol. The demand of
mobile device has transforms from the traditional functionality demand into the psychological stratification.
They starts to care about what service the small
mobile device serve. The border of telecommunication industry is also getting more and fuzzier. The 3G development is not into the expectation, the reason lacks the innovation application. But the software service has brings a revolution to the
mobile telecommunication industry.
This research is for the purpose of discussing how
mobile service enterprise plans the suitable transport business pattern based on the user attitude.
Base on the
mobile portal, discusses the consumer to choose
mobile service which factors to come under these factor influence and compared with two different case consumer's value localization..
The research result indicated that
mobile service is restricted in
mobile device the hardware characteristic and technology, but how to utilize innovates technology to promote attracts consumer's service, can be carries out
mobile service the main consideration.
By the software develops platform, not only the third party software developers cut the product price, also, because the platform has discussion's space, enables the consumer to be possible to talk directly with the developers and improve the software use greatly then easy.

▼ The users of
mobile devices increasingly use networked services to address their information needs. Questions asked by
mobile users are strongly influenced by context factors, such as location and user activity. However in research which has empirically documented the link between
mobile information needs and context factors, information about expected answers is scant. Therefore, the goal of this study is to explore the context factors which influence the
mobile information needs and the answers expected by
mobile users. The results, are obtained by analysing information from paper diaries and digital diaries. This project involved a user study, comprising two different types of studies concerning a paper diary and a digital diary. The analysis of both the paper diary and the digital diary was conducted through grounded theory and taxonomy of information needs. our results indicate a relationship between
mobile information needs and context factors and expected answers. Our study explored this relationship between
mobile information needs and context factors, and provides a better understanding of the expected answers related to
mobile information needs.

▼ Mobile payment is an application of
mobile commerce which provides the user with an ability to pay for goods and services using their
mobile device. It is a payment mechanism that gives the consumer an ‘anytime anywhere’ freedom to perform a transaction. The purpose of this exploratory study is to understand what factors inhibit or facilitate adoption of
mobile payment, in a New Zealand context. To study the potential links between these factors and
mobile payment adoption a hybrid of two adoption models (the Technology Acceptance Model – TAM, and the Input Output Process model – IPO) were used to build the research framework. A corresponding questionnaire was designed and data were gathered from a total of 267 respondents. The findings about ‘control relationships’ such as between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, or perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to use were compliant with prior work. The study identified service awareness as an important factor affecting the adoption of
mobile payment. It was also found that consumer demographic characteristics such as income, professional status, ethnicity, and
mobile phone spending may play significant moderating roles. The study contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of
mobile payment adoption in the local context, and identifies avenues for future work in the area.

▼ This thesis was commissioned by Gamespipe GmbH for the establishment of a
Mobile Advertising Server which is a new dimension of their business. Double Click for publisher by Google was suggested as the first
Mobile Adserver to be examined. The final objective of the commisioner was to have a
Mobile Advertising Server that able to serve their customers with fast delevering, high quality and managable volume
mobile traffic. The main obstacles were that the company did not have previous experiences with the
mobile Adserver and lacked of technical specialist. Therefore, it was very important to test the Adserver carefully before launching. As this would be a long term testing and establishing process, a detail plan was needed. The purpose of the thesis was to write a clear project plan with different steps and analysis in order to lead the project team as well as keep them on track in a long lasting project.
Data was gathered via multiple sources both internally such as performance reports, interviews with top managemers, employee’s interviews, author’s personal observation, etc and externally such as literature resources, marketing research reports in gaming industry, High-tech magazines, academic journals, competitors interviews, professional Linkedin groups for online industry, etc. The author had been working in the commisi-oner company for one year to be able to understand its business model as well as the vision of the top management about the project.
With the team effort, the project team was formed and a clear plan had been created. It included market research information, project flow, project schedule, financial plan, risk plan and communication plan. Until July 2014, the project already had some initial re-sults by launching two appications in Google Play store. It will continue running until May 2015.
The thesis was reserved for not only the use of the commisioner but also any Technology start-up in the online application industry. It could be used as a guideline for a low cost and time saving solution by using Double Click for Publisher instead of developing their own Advertising Servers for their businesses.

▼ Smart
mobile devices have increasingly become the
computing platform of choice. As distinct features, they have
sensors and many useful applications based on the sensors have been
developed and are being widely used. Not surprisingly, many of
these applications rely on the cloud because of the resource
constraints inherent to
mobile devices. ❧ In this dissertation, we
explore systems support for enabling the efficient processing and
secure sharing of sensor data using the cloud. To achieve this
goal, we adaptively use the cloud for
mobile devices based on the
availability of hardware components, networks, and the state of
human workers. When appropriate, we exploit domain knowledge and
use mathematical analysis to fulfill our goals and system
requirements. ❧ We first enable compute- and data-intensive
applications on
mobile devices. Some emerging applications, such as
interactive
mobile perception applications, are too slow to run on
mobile devices due to both their high data-rate workload (real-time
videos) and compute-intensive algorithms used (computer
vision-based ones). Thus, we need to significantly improve the
performance by offloading part of the application components to the
cloud and parallelizing it if relevant. To achieve this goal, we
conducted a measurement study on the factors that can affect the
performance of the applications and developed a novel, lightweight,
runtime that automatically and adaptively makes offloading and
parallelism decisions for
mobile interactive perception
applications. ❧ We next focus on serious privacy infringements,
such as the leakage of photos and the use of algorithmic
recognition technologies by providers, when using cloud-based photo
sharing services. Since currently we are required to expose our
data to the providers without any controls, it is impossible for
users to prevent the providers from such mining activities. On the
other hand, the providers perform useful processing on our data to
make our experience with their system better, e.g., scaling images
to support
mobile devices with different form factors
appropriately. In order to simultaneously achieve both privacy
protection and processing benefits provided by the cloud, we
develop an image encryption/decryption algorithm and an associated
system that can transparently work with existing cloud-based
service providers. ❧ Third, we focus on crowd-sensing, a novel
capability that harnesses the power of crowds to collect sensor
data from a large number of
mobile phone users. In such activities,
it is often challenging for users to efficiently deal with
labor-intensive sub-tasks, such as recruiting workers, giving
incentives, etc. However, existing programming systems do not
handle these concerns appropriately. Our domain-specific language
and runtime enables crowd-sensing and provides significant
automation for such tasks. Users only need to provide a high-level
description of a crowd-sensing task. Then, the runtime
automatically takes care of the rest. ❧ Fourth, when sharing large
volumes of sensor data using
mobile…

▼ A
mobile phone revolution is empowering individuals,
whether poor or illiterate, to exercise their capabilities by
participating in economic activities at levels unimaginable only a
decade ago. The merger of development theory with capabilities,
freedom, and human rights, offers the most significant change in
human development and presents an opportunity to look at
mobile
phones as powerful instruments of development in this context.
Nowhere is this transformation to
mobile use more visible and far
reaching than among the women of Afghanistan. A project designed as
a platform featuring
mobile technology for women's development in
rural Afghanistan is presented herewith.

▼ This study examined if using
mobile technology-based activities would increase student performance in biological science courses. The study compared two groups of students in lectures and labs. Each group had about 20 students. The
mobile group had
mobile technology-based activities and the non-
mobile group received conventional instruction. The
mobile group used links to the website, or a QR Code to access the activities. The non-
mobile group had handouts and worksheets over the same content. The research methodology for this study was mixed method. The study was a quasi-experimental design that used instruction method as the independent variable between two groups. The study used formative and summative assessment to compare the performance of the
mobile group and non-
mobile group in lecture and lab. The student in the
mobile group had statistically significantly higher lab exam scores than students in the non-
mobile group. Additionally, Students were surveyed about their performance expectancy and effort expectancy using
mobile technology for learning, and they were asked about their self-management of learning. Analysis indicated that both groups had similar performance and effort expectancy using
mobile technology for learning, but the two groups differed on self-management of learning responses to the survey. Focus groups from the
mobile group and the non-
mobile group were interviewed about issues related to benefits and challenges encountered learning with
mobile technology-based activities.

▼ An alarming number of adolescents experience obesity and related health issues, in part because of a lack of exercise. Increased
mobile technology availability can have negative effects on amount of exercise, but they can have positive effects as well. Leveraging
mobile technology to encourage and motivate exercise has potential to decrease unhealthy lifestyles, especially among young people.
Mobile exergaming is an emerging field that has the potential to motivate users to exercise while also having fun. However, much of the early development work on
mobile exergames has been ad-hoc, with little guidance available for designers. This work seeks to identify heuristics catered for
mobile exergaming. This thesis presents four
mobile exergaming heuristics were identified based on recent literature and on the author's
mobile exergame design and development efforts: 1) Motivational game concepts that promote physical activity; 2) Game cues that engage active users; 3) Physically and temporally appropriate game structure to encourage continual, recurring play; 4) Game play movements that are safe for the user and for the device. This thesis describes the development of the
mobile exergame heuristics, along with the creation and distribution of an ExergameApp Suite comprised of three
mobile exergames: Fish Out of Water, Color Hunt and Space Rayders.

▼ The proliferation of the
mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, smartwatches and fitness trackers) has brought great convenience to our daily lives.
Mobile users can enjoy the online access anytime and anywhere through WiFi or cellular services, monitor daily activities (e.g., walking steps) via wearable devices, or flexibly access the devices via touch screens and microphones. The pervasive
mobile sensors can further benefit the public sector, such as providing real-time data for public transportation, emergency and public safety protection. While the
mobile technologies facilitate a wide range of useful applications to the users, an adversary may leverage them to derive the user’s sensitive private information. This dissertation focuses on exploring the security threats of the
mobile devices given the various embedded sensors. Moreover, we explore to utilize
mobile sensing technologies as opportunities for protecting not only the personal privacy but also the public security.
As the smartphone is the most popular
mobile device worldwide, we first investigate to what extent the users’ personal information such as social relationships and demographics could be revealed from their smartphones, in particular through the simple signal information of the pervasive Wi-Fi Access Points (AP) without examining any Wi-Fi traffic. We successfully derive the users’ activities at daily visited places from the surrounding APs and utilize that as the basis to infer the users’ social interactions and individual behaviors. Our approaches capture how closely people interact with each other based on their physical closeness to infer their social relationships and recognize the individual behaviors via their activity characteristics (e.g., activeness and time slots) at their daily visited places to estimate the users’ demographics.
Moreover, the increasing popularity of wearable devices motivates us to examine the possible sensitive information leakage from the user’s personal wearable devices. We demonstrate a serious security breach of wearable devices in the context of divulging secret information (i.e., key entries) while people are accessing key-based security systems (e.g., ATM machines). We develop a system to show that the motion sensors on a wearable device can be exploited to discriminate mm-level distances and directions of the user’s fine-grained hand movements, which enables an adversary to reproduce the hand movement trajectories of the user to recover the secret key entries.
Besides security threats, we also find that
mobile technologies bring unique opportunities to protect the personal privacy. We propose to use an off-the-shelf wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch or bracelet) as a secure token to secure the Voice Assistant (VA) systems (e.g., Google Home and Amazon Alexa), which have been shown to be under a high risk of sensitive information leakage in the various acoustic attacks (e.g., impersonation, replay and hidden command attacks). In particular, the proposed system exploits the motion sensors, readily available…

▼ The advance of
mobile phone devices and wireless communication have dramatically change the way individuals do for their personal lives and businesses. Nowadays, people can not only talk with their peers located at different places, they can also get the desired information ubiquitously. Business strategies that are based on simple
mobile phones have to be adapted to a complex
mobile business ecosystem.
The
mobile phone market in Guatemala has almost saturated, and the
mobile operators have to come up with creative ideas to increase their revenues. This thesis explores what the userâs intentions toward
mobile services in Guatemala. Understanding usersâ intension will allow entrepreneurs to create new business strategies that would fill an existing void that exists on the Guatemalan
mobile market.

▼ 109 p. : ill. ; 30 cm
In these last few years, mobile robots have been increasingly employed for outdoor applications. Autonomous driving in these applications is a challenging issue in mobile robotics, particularly when the domain is unstructured and harsh. In addition, uneven environments are often characterized by low visibility due to poor illumination conditions and weather phenomena including fog, rain, snow and hail, or presence of dust clouds and smoke. Thus, advanced autonomous mobile systems are primarily required for an off-road robot to sense and understand its environment, while ensuring, at the same time, robustness under compromised conditions. Therefore, this thesis addresses the problem of the design, implementation and realization of an autonomous mobile robot navigating in an uneven environment. The first issue in this work deals with the environment sensing, as it is crucial for better environment modeling strategy. A study of the most important sensors used in mobile robotics is presented. So, millimetre-wave radar (MMW radar) is chosen for our application. After that, a technique for 3D uneven environment modelling that is based on data acquired from MMW radar has been proposed. The returned raw data from the MMW are stored in a database then transferred to the CAD model, and represented as objects using an algorithm. Then, the environment is rebuilt by using Non-Uniform Rational Bi-Spline (NURBS) curves to obtain the polygon mesh representing the surface of the uneven environment. NURBS curves are used for trajectory reconstruction since they have been proven to be the best parametric curves for path planning both for 2D mobile robots and 3D curve approximation. The polygonal mesh decomposition helps us to locate the different obstacles and to build the optimal path to reach the target starting from any initial position, by taking into consideration the terrain traversability. The optimal path is obtained by applying distance calculation method and speed limits. The second issue treats the problem of path tracking, where the robot has to autonomously track the planned trajectory, provided in real-time, on rapidly varying, off-road terrain. The objective is to build a controller which permits to the robot to execute the path following task. This controller generates the actions that will drive the robot straight on the path to reach the final destination. Hence, an algorithm for data extraction is proposed and the way of sending these data to the robot platform is explained. The last issue deals with the software and hardware requirement for the realization of the mobile robot platform. Our proposed study would be useful for real-world robotic applications such as intelligent navigation for motorized wheelchairs, surveillance and security purposes, in Nuclear power plants where humans are prone to harmful radiations, for planetary exploration and every where the robot is expected to encounter rough terrain

▼ Given the growing number of
mobile apps and their increasing impact on modern life, researchers have developed black-box approaches to mine
mobile app design and interaction data. Although the data captured during interaction mining is descriptive, it does not expose the design semantics of UIs: what elements on the screen mean and how they are used. This thesis introduces an automatic approach for semantically annotating the elements comprising a UI given the data captured during interaction mining. Through an iterative open coding of 73k UI elements and 720 screens, we first created a lexical database of 24 types of UI components, 197 text button concepts, and 135 icon classes shared across apps. Using the labeled data created during this process, we learned code-based patterns to detect components, and trained a convolutional neural network which distinguishes between 99 icon classes with 94% accuracy. With this automated approach, we computed semantic annotations for the 72k unique UIs comprising the Rico dataset, assigning labels for 78% of the total visible, non-redundant elements.

▼ Mobile computing is rapidly becoming part of healthcare’s electronic landscape, helping to provide better quality of care and reduced cost. While the technology provides numerous advantages to the healthcare industry, it is not without risk. The size and portable nature of
mobile computing devices present a highly vulnerable environment, which threaten the privacy and security of health information. Since these devices continually access possibly sensitive healthcare information, it is imperative that these devices are considered for security in order to meet regulatory compliance. In fact, the increase in government and industry regulation to ensure the privacy and security of health information, makes
mobile security no longer just desirable, but mandatory. In addition, as healthcare becomes more aware of the need to reinforce patient confidence to gain competitive advantage, it makes
mobile security desirable. Several guidelines regarding security best practices exist. Healthcare institutions are thus faced with matching the guidelines offered by best practices, with the legal and regulatory requirements. While this is a valuable question in general, this research focuses on the aspect of considering this question when considering the introduction of
mobile computing into the healthcare environment. As a result, this research proposes a framework that will aid IT administrators in healthcare to ensure that privacy and security of health information is extended to
mobile devices. The research uses a comparison between the best practices in ISO 17799:2005 and the regulatory requirements stipulated in HIPAA to provide a baseline for the
mobile computing security model. The comparison ensures that the model meets healthcare specific industry requirement and international information security standard. In addition, the framework engages the Information Security Management System (ISMS) model based on the ISO 27000 standard. The framework, furthermore, points to existing technical security measurers associated with
mobile computing. It is believed that the framework can assist in achieving
mobile computing security that is compliant with the requirements in the healthcare industry

▼ Advancements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies
and methods have resulted in tight shale formations becoming viable for oil and gas
production. A necessary resource for any hydraulic fracturing project is fresh water to
form the fracturing fluid. Most of the used water is discharged in the form of a flowback
wastewater. In principle, the flowback wastewater can be treated and reused to reduce
freshwater consumption. The objective of this research is to develop a framework for the logistics and scheduling of a
mobile treatment system for multiple producing wells.
Several treatment technologies were studied, including coagulation/ultrafiltration, lime
softening, and membrane treatment. In order to perform a case study on Marcellus well
data, thermal membrane distillation technology (TMD) was chosen due to its modularity
and compatibility for use in a
mobile rig. An optimization approach was used in order to
determine the number of membrane units needed at each well for each of the twenty-eight days. Results show that the use of TMD for flowback treatment is economically
competitive with conventional disposal methods. The application of this framework can
be scaled to any number of wells, allowing for efficient and accurate allocation of
mobile units to meet desired treatment thresholds.

▼ The number of
mobile devices is growing very fast. Smart phones and tablets are, step by step, replacing desktops and laptops as the primary method of computing in daily life. Along with the rapid evolution of
mobile devices, the applications on them are undergoing fast transformation. We can see many improvements in traditional applications (messaging, calling, etc.) like multimedia text messages, video calls, voice over IP and so forth. However, the Contacts application has not changed much while it has many potentials. In this thesis, we propose a new model which improves the Contacts application by introducing three novel capabilities: searching for contacts by their miscellaneous information, retaining knowledge of contacts via a tags system, and establishing a Personal Social Network which consists of the relationships between the contacts. By introducing these capabilities, the model helps its users to accomplish new tasks which are not currently handled by modern Contacts applications. Furthermore, the model is implemented and become a fully functional prototype on iOS and Android. The prototype is then evaluated in a user study and a system performance test. The studies yield positive results which indicate that the three new capabilities are valuable and should be included in today’s Contacts applications.

This thesis deals with the modelling and control of an autonomous four-wheeled car-like vehicle. The autonomous vehicle is built on the chassis of a Tamiya TXT-1, one-tenth scale, off-road remote control truck. The simplified kinematic and dynamic models of this vehicle are derived for the purposes of control. These models are converted to a suitable form and control laws are then developed to perform set-point control as well as path following. A sonar array is constructed to permit the vehicle to sense its surroundings and construct a map of an unknown environment as it navigates through it. Lastly the Vector Field Histogram (VFH) obstacle avoidance algorithm is implemented and used to guide the vehicle through a sparsely populated environment without colliding with the obstacles.

▼ This study sought to establish factors influencing mobile banking in Kenya: a case of Kenya
commercial bank in Garissa, it was guided by four objectives that focused on the influence of
education, age of the respondents, cost of service and security concerns on mobile banking in
Kenya Commercial bank. The study focused on eliciting information from the customers of
the KCB bank. The main instrument for data collection was the questionnaire. Data was then
analysed using descriptive statistics and presented using frequency tables using SPSS.
Through analysis the study established that Majority of respondents were educated up to
university and tertiary college levels. However, education did not influence mobile banking.
This is because everybody in the sample owned a phone, operated a bank account and had
subscribed to mobile banking. However, skills are required to be able to operate effectively
on a mobile banking platform. Like education, age did not influence mobile banking. This is
because everybody in the sample was found to own a phone, operate a bank account and
subscribed to mobile banking. It was found that the cost of mobile banking was not too high
and a sizeable number also said it was high. There need for further studies to find out why
some feel the cost is high and come up with ways of reducing it down. Majority of
respondents said there were losses due to fraudulent access of customers’ accounts due to
hacking. In order to protect customers’ accounts, there is need to employ disciplined,
qualified and well remunerated ICT in the bank and at the level of mobile provider. In past
there have incidences of bank officials colluding with fraudsters to fleece customers’
accounts. This practice should be eliminated with advent of ICT. In order to make mobile
banking popular to all, there is need to come up with better ways of protective customer
accounts. There is also need for a comprehensive ICT policy that also covers mobile banking.

▼ The spread of mobile phones across the world is one 01" the most remarkable technology stories or the past decade.
Buoyed by prepaid cards and inexpensive handsets, hundreds of millions of first-time telephone owners have made
voice calls and text messages part of their daily lives. In Kenya the first quarter of201012011 report from CCK, the
lour licensed operators had a combined subscriber base of 22 million mobile subscribers, a 9.5 per cent mobile
subscriptions growth from 20.1 million in the last quarter to 22 million subscribers. This is the highest growth that
has been recorded over the last three quarters (CCK 201 O).This growth is attributed to the continued reduction III
the cost of mobile handsets as well as the low value of prepaid calling cards,
Large chunk of mobile phone users are prepaid customer, according to CCK the prepaid subscribers whose
proportion or total subscribers reached 99%, (CCK 2010). Yet the available options of toping up air time token is
characterized with scratch card manufacturing costs, transportation costs, storage costs, control of distribution
channels, Service management, distribution links and stratification of customer according to networks. Therefore
the purpose of the study was to investigate the recharge options available for air time token with a view of
developing a self service, electronic top up prototype with an intuitive interface that is simple easy and fast way of
iopi ng up air time token.
The research adopted Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSA DM) using Java Developrnen t
Platform An electronic top model for prepaid customers with a user friendly interface has been developed.
Air time tokens are credited to mobile devices upon payment through the interface of the electronic top up devices.
The user receives a confirmation message of toping up the mobile device. The Prototype was tested and time taken
was measured in relation to other top up options available, various graphs were plotted comparing time taken to load
air time. The study showed that electronic top method developed was faster than other available options; therefore
the technology can be adopted.
The main contribution of the study is the integration of the selfservice prototype in the provision of air time through
the use of electronic top up system as an approach towards solving problems inherent in the current available option
of toping mobile phone.

▼ Mobile learning (m-learning) is a methodology of supporting learning which is spontaneous,
anywhere-anytime learning through the use of mobile technology. With the ubiquity of mobile
phones and the broad availability of advanced features similar to pes, there is sufficiently large
basis for development of education-rich applications. M-learning projects are pre-dominantly
being carried out in the developed countries. The designers of current mobile technologies do not
necessarily consider the conditions of developing countries when designing and so their products
are not always applicable in the developing world. Therefore, the evaluation frameworks used in
developed countries are not applicable in developing countries.
Using survey and case study methodology, this research developed and tested a Mobile Learning
Impact Measurement Framework (MLIMF) to address the problem. Using standards from
training and development community, the researcher developed dimensions to evaluate mlearning.
The dimensions were then applied to a sample of thirty eight (38) participants who have
sued or are using m-learning systems. This was in order to assess the feasibility of the framework
and the dimensions in evaluating m-learning. To develop the MLIMF, three hypotheses were
tested. The data available for this study was limited to a sample of thirty eight (38) participants
and two m-learning systems allowing only a broad analysis. However, the research undertaken
proved the value of the framework as a tool for research and confirmed the validity of the
framework design.
Analysis of the results indicates that learner and environmental characteristics impact on the
success of m-learning. The results have indicated that learner attitudes, motivations, experience,
existing knowledge and skills and performance are significant to the success of m-learning
systems. We also established that the application characteristics including content adaptability,
cost, reliability and relevance of the materials are important aspects to consider.
The framework aims at guiding policy in development of applications that can enable learners in
developing countries obtain access to and use learning, through the use of mobile phones. It
provides a competency set of novel guidelines to be followed when developing mobile learning
systems and also to evaluate existing m-learning environments, products and services.

▼ Mobile Internet has emerged as a tool that is changing the lives of many consumers
especially in the developing countries by enabling them to access information. The objective
of this research was to determine the extent to which Kenyan university students accept
Mobile Internet, to identify the mobile platforms and data plans used, to identify and qualify
the constructs that do affect adoption of Mobile Internet and to identify the services accessed
by users of mobile internet.
Most research work on Mobile internet adoption is structured on Technology Acceptance
Model (TAM). This research however included additional constructs to TAM and attempt to
justify their effect on Mobile Internet adoption among university students in Kenya.
The study found that majority of the respondents indicated that they were using ordinary
phones and smart phones to access Mobile Internet. The respondents accessed different
services on their mobile devices like Social networking, checking the news, accessing
research materials and accessing e-mails. Most of the respondents preferred pre-paid data
bundles.
The study found that consumer's perceived ease of use had a positive impact on intention to
use M-internet. It was also found that perceived usefulness had a positive impact on
consumer's intention to use M-internet. The study also revealed that consumer's attitude
toward M-internet had a positive impact on his/her intention to use M-internet. Consumer's
perception of playfulness was found to have positive impact on intention to use M-internet.
Internet experience was also shown to have a positive impact on a consumer's intention to
use M-internet. Consumer's perception of service cost was shown to have an impact on
intention to use M-internet. System quality was shown to have an impact on a consumer's
intention to use M-internet. A consumer's perception of content quality also was shown to
have an impact on intention to use M~internet. All these results were consistent with previous
studies focusing on TAM framework as well as the studies on the additional Constructs.

▼ One of the recent developments in mobile wireless applications is the introduction of
mobile commerce using mobile devices such as PDAs, cellular phones and notebook pes.
Some of the applications of mobile commerce include Funds Transfer, m-banking, rnbilling
and m-shopping,
The main driving force for the rapid acceptance of mobile devices in business sector is their
capability to provide or get services at any time and any place where there is network
coverage. Moreover rn-cornrnerce has proved to be a cheaper and efficient alternative to
costly traditional commercial services particularly in developing countries such as Kenya.
However as the popularity of these services mcrease, there is great concern on loss of
confidential data transmitted over the insecure wireless network. In this research, we
analyzed existing frameworks for secure mobile funds transfer services in order to adopt or
propose a suitable framework that will be used as a guide for deployment and assessment of
mobile wireless money transfer services. The three core areas that guided our research are:•
Transmission security for electronic money (e-rnoney) in cellular wireless networks.
• Security in SIM-based mobile money transfer applications.
• Policies and regulatory framework governing mobile money transfer services.
To validate the framework, the research methodology employed in this research was mainly
survey. Through stratified random sampling on clustered regions, our sample was drawn
from mobile money transfer subscribers, dealers/agents of Safaricom's M-Pesa and Zain's
Zap mobile money transfer services and the two service providers i.e. Safari com and Zaino
The outcome of our research findings is a validated framework that will serve as a blue
print for the deployment and assessment of m-payment services in the developing countries
where approximately 80% are unbanked.

▼ The uptake of mobile phone technology in Kenya has been unprecedented. Of vital
significance is the rapid absorption of mobile money technology/services.. In an effort to
gauge the effect/ implications of this mobile phone phenomena to the NGO sector
financial management efforts, this study brought to the light the available evidence on the
effect of the mobile money uptake on financial performance of NGO
’
s in Kenya.
Explo
ratory research design was adopted to investigate the effect of MMU on the
financial performance of NGO
’
s in Kenya and to investigate this relationship,
quantitative research approach was employed. To ensure a more complete approach to
empirical research,
longitudinal data were collected in a sequence so as to track the
magnitude of change that would have taken place. The instruments used included the use
of structured questionnaires and interviews. Interviews were conducted to give in
—
depth
information wh
ich was omitted by the questionnaire. The survey was administered on 30
respondents out of 50 members of the national and international NGO, s in Kenya. Data
was subjected to exploratory analysis through descriptive and correlation procedures.
The result o
f the study indicates very promising positive effect of MMU on financial
performance of NGO
’
s that have adopted mobile money in their financial performance
and indeed significant positive effect on, improved customer engagement and
satisfaction, compliance with donor regulations, efficiency and effectiveness and most
importantly reduced fiscal risk status among others.
In conclusion the study brings out the needed evidence that indeed MMU is the way to go
if NGO
’
s have to improve on
their financial performance and for the future good and as
vital addition to the current government policies in the area of MMT, donors should
formulate key policy to require their funds recipients adopt MMU as the appropriate way
of undertakings funds di
sbursements.

▼ Mobile banking has been considered to be one of the most value-added and important
mobile services currently available. Considering the fact that the penetration of this
technology is undefined well, particularly in developing country, this study sought find
out the influence of perceived mobile banking risks on the benefits derived from usage.
The research did an empirical study in Nairobi investigating the impacts of risks on
mobile banking and the influence it possess to financial inclusion and sought to find out
the risks m-banking users are exposed to. Data was collected from 357 respondents and
the findings identified some eminent risks transactions; withdrawal via ATM, high value
cash deposits/ withdrawals and customer to customer transactions. The study found out
that there is a direct relationship between risks and the impacts on financial inclusion.
The uptake of Mpesa, agent‟s growth and turnover of funds were growing on a steady
state since the service started.
The uptake of mobile phones in Kenya has been unprecedented. The most significance is
rapid absorption of mobile based banking services. This trend of continued reliance on
mobile devices to execute monetary transactions is steadily gaining momentum. In an
effort to gauge the implications of these mobile phone phenomena, this study set out to
bring to light the critical risks and impacts arising from the emergent mobile technology
innovations on financial inclusion. Two risks were identified; fraudulent calls and fake
text messages. This paper is structured to offer insights into the current state of mobile
phone banking service as well as a review of emerging risks and impacts on financial
inclusion. Illuminative cases are also featured to drive home the fundamental paradigms
of concern in this study. The paper is based on a study conducted on existing mobile
banking service- mpesa in Kenya.
The study cited security measures to safeguard customer as strict adherence to safaricom
vetting procedures on transacting and educating customers on keeping the mpesa pin
confidential.

▼ Dans cette thèse, nous proposons deux nouveaux
algorithmes: un algorithme de recherche pour table de hachage
distribuée (DHT) et un algorithme construisant des arbres de
multicast. Ces algorithmes ont été spécifiquement conçus pour tirer
avantage des caractéristiques principales des réseaux mobiles
ad-hoc (MANETs) telles que la communication par diffusion, les
ressources limitées (en particulier l'énergie), la proximité
physique ou encore les communications nécessitant plusieurs sauts.
Ces particularités ne sont généralement pas prises en compte ou
considérées comme des facteurs limitatifs dans les solutions
conçues pour la recherche et la distribution d'informations dans
les MANETs. Notre algorithme de recherche pour DHT est adapté aux
spécificités des MANETs. La proximité physique des noeuds, la
communication par diffusion et le mécanisme de routage des messages
sont utilisés pour trouver des raccourcis dans l'espace logique de
la DHT. Ces raccourcis permettent une convergence rapide vers le
noeud responsable pour les données recherchées (une clé dans
l'espace logique.) L'algorithme de multicast fonctionne au-dessus
de la DHT. Il construit des arbres de multicast dans les MANETs qui
limitent le nombre de relais et de transmissions. La structure
ainsi générée est ajustée à la topologie physique du réseau et
s'adapte en continu lorsque les noeuds se déplacent. L'efficacité
des algorithmes ainsi que leur capacité de passage à l'échelle ont
été évaluées au moyen de simulations dans des réseaux de tailles et
de configurations diverses. Finalement, nous présentons Adcast, le
logiciel où sont implémentés nos algorithmes. Il s'exécute sur des
PDAs fonctionnant sous Windows
Mobile et des ordinateurs sous
Windows. Adcast a rendu possible des tests dans des environnements
réseaux ad hoc réels et simulés.

▼ I present ARC-Pad, a cursor positioning technique for large displays. It allows us to use a touchscreen-enabled phone as a
mobile touchpad, and has a hybrid pointing technique to quickly reach distant targets. Users can tap to instantly transport the cursor to a location onscreen, then slide for fine positioning, as with a regular touchpad. This combination makes ARC-Pad especially suited to large displays, even when the touchpad is very small.
I develop several modifications to ARC-Pad and evaluate them, including sending screenshots of the desktop to the phone's touchscreen and using accelerometer data to dynamically modify control-display gain. I perform a series of experiments to compare ARC-Pad to existing cursor positioning systems, and show that ARC-Pad achieves a higher throughput in a target selection task.
Finally, I extend ARC-Pad for 3D object positioning, and show that ARC-Pad comes very close to the performance of a 6DOF input device.

▼ Smart phones and other
mobile technologies can be used
to collect and display physiological information from subjects in
various environments – clinical or otherwise. This thesis
highlights software app reference designs that allow a smart phone
to receive, process, and display biomedical data. Two research
projects, described below and in the thesis body, guided this
development. Android Studio was chosen to develop the phone
application, after exploring multiple development options
(including a cross-platform development tool), because it reduced
the development time and the number of required programming
languages.
The first project, supported by the Kansas State
University Johnson Cancer Research Center (JCRC), required a
mobile
device software application that could determine the hemoglobin
level of a blood sample based on the most prevalent color in an
image acquired by a phone camera, where the image is the result of
a chemical reaction between the blood sample and a reagent. To
calculate the hemoglobin level, a circular region of interest is
identified from within the original image using image processing,
and color information from that region of interest is input to a
model that provides the hemoglobin level. The algorithm to identify
the region of interest is promising but needs additional
development to work properly at different image resolutions. The
associated model also needs additional work, as described in the
text.
The second project, in collaboration with Heartspring,
Wichita, KS, required a
mobile application to display information
from a sensor bed used to gather nighttime physiological data from
severely disabled autistic children. In this case, a local data
server broadcasts these data over a wireless network. The phone
application gathers information about the bed over this wireless
network and displays these data in user-friendly manner. This
approach works well when sending basic information but experiences
challenges when sending images.
Future work for both project
applications includes error handling and user interface
improvements. For the JCRC application, a better way to account for
image resolution changes needs to be developed, in addition to a
means to determine whether the region of interest is valid. For the
Heartspring application, future work should include improving image
transmissions.

▼ Technology offers new possibilities to provide effective teaching and learning. One of the
most recent technologies that has ignited considerable interest by educators is mobile
technology. Mobile technology has been quickly adopted in everyday life, and it is common
for most people to have, and carry, a mobile device with them at all times. In addition these
mobile devices are becoming more and more powerful and taking over tasks that would
normally be done on traditional PCs or laptops (Dawabi, Wessner, & Neuhold, 2004).
Researchers have started to explore the way mobile technology can be harnessed in the
educational arena (see for example Attewell & Gustafsson, 2002; Cobcroft, Towers, Smith,
& Bruns, 2006; Seppälä & Alamäki, 2003; Traxler, 2009; Zawacki-Richter, Brown, & Delport,
2009; Zeng & Luyegu, 2011). Despite the interest, little is known about the factors that will
impact student and educator adoption of mobile learning. Current studies into mobile
learning are mainly small scale trials and pilots with most focussing on student adoption.
Factors that affect the mobile learning adoption by educators seem to have been largely
ignored.
To address this gap in the literature, the present study has developed two models of
student and educator adoption of mobile learning. The models posited that the perceived
ease of use and usefulness of mobile technology would mediate the relationship between
self-efficacy beliefs, motivation and level of self-direction of students and the intention of
students and educators to adopt mobile learning.
A total of 446 students from three tertiary institutes and 196 educators from all New
Zealand completed a survey that identified their learning and teaching-related beliefs and
attitudes, their intentions to adopt mobile learning, and their perceptions of using mobile
technology to support their learning and teaching.
The study found that educators and students are influenced by different factors to adopt
mobile learning. Specifically, it found that the self-efficacy beliefs, motivation and selfdirectedness
(students) had varying degrees of influence on ease of use and usefulness
perceptions of mobile learning, and overall intention to adopt it. The study also found
evidence to suggest that these factors may differ between students of different ages,
genders and institute types they attend.
The study also provides recommendations to educators, researchers, learning designers and
institutes who wish to implement mobile learning into their curriculum to accommodate
and encourage adoption.

▼ Recent years have witnessed a rapid adoption of smart mobile devices and their increased pervasiveness into people's daily life. As a result of this quick development, the demand for better mobile services is increasing with an even faster speed. Recommender systems become essential to deliver the right services to the right mobile users. For instance, Point of Interest (POI) recommendation enables us to recommend the right places to the right users based on their preferences. Also effective mobile app recommendation will help mobile users to make better utility of their smartphones. In this dissertation, we identify several unique challenges for recommendation in mobile business environments, and then introduce how we use advanced data mining techniques to address these challenges. First, rich semantic information such tags and descriptions are associated with POIs in location based services. To this end, we proposed a topic and location aware POI recommender system by exploiting associated textual and context information. Second, many mobile services are location-dependent, which means a user's choice can be influenced by location-dependent factors, in particular are the user mobility and geographical influence. User mobility refers to the factor that a user's interest would change among different regions. Geographical influence is related to the cost of the option. Therefore, it is important to capture a user's spatial choice behavior to make better recommendations. Along this line, we have proposed a geographical probabilistic factor model framework, which strategically captures user mobility and geographical influence, to model user spatial choice behavior. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Third, services are usually organized into hierarchy structure such as category hierarchy. We then introduce a structural user choice model (SUCM) to learn fine-grained user choice patterns by exploiting hierarchy structure. Moreover, we design an efficient learning algorithm to estimate the parameters for the SUCM model. Evaluation on an app adoption data demonstrates that our approach can better capture user choice patterns and thus improve recommendation performance. Finally, privacy becomes a big issue for mobile service adoption. In particular, mobile apps could have privileges to access a user's sensitive resources (e.g., contact, message, and location). As a result, a user chooses an app not only because of its functionality, but also because it respects the user's privacy preference. We present the first systematic study on incorporating both interest-functionality interactions and users' privacy preferences to perform personalized app recommendations. Moreover, we explore the impact of different levels of privacy information on the performances of our method, which gives us insights on what resources are more likely to be treated as private by users and influence users' behaviors at selecting apps.
