The Use of Mobile Computing in Construction Information Management

Construction work sites are the places where actual construction activities are carried out. However, onsite information communications are hardly supported by information technology. The advance of mobile computing gives the construction industry a powerful potential to extend the boundary of information systems to construction work sites. This paper describes an ongoing doctoral research that...

A Mobile and Fog-based Computing Method to Execute Smart Device Applications in a Secure Environment

With the rapid growth of smart device and Internet of things applications, the volume of communication and data in networks have increased. Due to the network lag and massive demands, centralized and traditional cloud computing architecture are not accountable to the high users' demands and not proper for execution of delay-sensitive and real time applications. To resolve these challenges, we p...
