Mobiles for Development

چکیده
InterMedia has launched its Haiti Mobile Money Tracker (HMMT) Project with the mission of providing robust research and analysis into the emerging mobile money (m-money) services market. There is only a limited amount of consumer information publicly available to development practitioners to understand how Haitians are using these relatively new services as well as their access to financial services in general. The HMMT Project, through the assistance of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, fills this knowledge gap through survey-based research used to evaluate the development of m-money in Haiti.

The times they are a-changin': mobile PIM is leaving the paper trail behind
Use practices in personal information management (PIM) evolve continually. The data from our two studies, a survey study (n=61) on to-do use practices and a diary/interview study (n=11) on smartphone use in PIM, suggests that electronic PIM has finally reached paper-based PIM in popularity. Mobile phones and their development have been integral to this development: Better input possibilities an...
متن کاملModélisation d'objets mobiles dans un entrepôt de données
Résumé. La gestion d’objets mobiles a connu un regain d’intérêt ces dernières années, particulièrement dans le but de gérer et de prédire la localisation d’objets mobiles. Cependant, il y a peu de recherches sur l’exploitation d’historiques de bases d’objets mobiles. La première étape dans ce processus est la mise en œuvre d’un entrepôt d’objets mobiles. Seulement, les modèles d’entrepôts exist...
متن کاملCooperative Receiving Scheme for Downlink of Cellular Systems
In wireless mobile cellular systems, it has been popular for mobiles to support some short-range wireless communication protocols (SRWCPs)−Bluetooth, Zigbee, NFC (near field communication), etc. In this paper, we introduce a simple SRWCP-aided downlink cooperative receiving scheme. In the proposed scheme, a cluster is composed by some active mobiles which can be connected via SRWCPs, and then t...
متن کاملPlanar Maps as Labeled Mobiles
We extend Schaeffer’s bijection between rooted quadrangulations and well-labeled trees to the general case of Eulerian planar maps with prescribed face valences, in bijection with a new class of labeled trees, which we call mobiles. Our bijection covers all the classes of maps previously enumerated by either the two-matrix model used by physicists or by the bijection with blossom trees used by ...
متن کاملBase station scheduling of requests with fixed deadlines
We consider a packet switched wireless network in which a base station serves the mobiles. The packets for the mobiles arrive at the base station and have to be scheduled for transmission to the mobiles. The capacity of the channel from the base station to the mobiles is varying with time due to fading. We assume the mobiles can obtain different types of service based on the prices they are wil...
متن کاملExploring the Futures of Mobiles for Social Development Using Ethnographic Futures Research
As new technologies such as mobile phones impact peoples’ daily lives, interest into their potential is also growing. In this research paper we aim to identify and explore how a particular research approach, in this instance, ethnographic futures research (EFR), can be utilized for future predictions of mobiles phones in social development activities in developing countries. The paper describes...
