In this paper we describe an exploratory study of a mobile cosmetic advisory system that enables women to select appropriate colors of cosmetics. This system is intended for commercial use to address the problem of foundation color selection. Although wome ...
This paper reports on results from a field experiment using a pervasive game that aims at eliciting the influence of location-awareness of others in a mobile and collaborative task. We present the environment as well as first results concerning how differe ...
The purpose of this demonstration is to illustrate that an off-the-shelf Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network (WSAN) can be used to discover resource availability and guide mobile users to these resources without any support from a navigation system like G ...
We study private computations in a system of tiny mobile agents. We consider the mobile population protocol model of Angluin et al. [2] and ask what can be computed without ever revealing any input to a curious adversary. We show that any computable predic ...
The most significant contributions of new technologies to the implementation of sustainable urban travel policies appear to be twofold: a better understanding of users’ behavior, and the improvement of interfaces between operators. Smart cards, i.e. chip c ...
Mobile communication devices, such as mobile phones and networked personal digital assistants (PDAs), allow users to be constantly connected and communicate anywhere and at any time, often resulting in personal and private communication taking place in pub ...

In this paper we present a hybrid design concept for Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), in order to increase the performance of DHTs in scenarios with mobile participants. By defining two classes of nodes (static and temporary) and assigning critical overlay ...
Many manufacturers have started to use virtual stores as a direct distribution channel in addition to their existing indirect retail channels. These companies must now decide how to integrate these channels. The alternatives are to operate dedicated distri ...
We analyze urban mobility by relying on the short-term mobility traces gathered from a publicly available web-based repository of GPS tracks - the Nokia Sports Tracker service. All mobility traces are obtained from a set of kml files. We show how the data ...
Securing access to data in location- based services and mobile applications requires the definition of spatially aware access- control systems. Even if some approaches have already been proposed either in the context of geographic database systems or conte ...
