The purpose of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of creating a declarative user interface language suitable for rapid prototyping of mobile and Web apps. Moreover, this…

Early gesture recognition method with an accelerometer

Ryo Izuta, Kazuya Murao, Tsutomu Terada, Masahiko Tsukamoto

This paper aims to propose a gesture recognition method at an early stage. An accelerometer is installed in most current mobile phones, such as iPhones, Android-powered devices…

Mobile phone user authentication with grip gestures using pressure sensors

Kazuya Murao, Hayami Tobise, Tsutomu Terada, Toshiki Iso, Masahiko Tsukamoto, Tsutomu Horikoshi

User authentication is generally used to protect personal information such as phone numbers, photos and account information stored in a mobile device by limiting the user to a…

An efficient clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks

Mariam Alnuaimi, Khaled Shuaib, Klaithem Alnuaimi, Mohammed Abed-Hafez

This paper aims to propose a new node energy-efficient algorithm with energy threshold to replace cluster heads. The proposed algorithm uses node ranking to elect cluster heads…

Comparison of context-aware predictive modeling approaches: Semantic place in inferring mobile user behavior

Tapio Soikkeli

The aim of this paper is to empirically examine how to best incorporate such contextual data, such as location or the semantic place of mobile users, into mobile user behavior…

Activities of daily life recognition using process representation modelling to support intention analysis

Usman Naeem, Rabih Bashroush, Richard Anthony, Muhammad Awais Azam, Abdel Rahman Tawil, Sin Wee Lee, M.L. Dennis Wong

This paper aims to focus on applying a range of traditional classification- and semantic reasoning-based techniques to recognise activities of daily life (ADLs). ADL recognition…
