The task of strategic information technology management is to focus on adapting technology to ensure competitiveness. A key factor for success in this sector is awareness and readiness to deploy new technologies and exploit the services they offer. Recently, the need for more flexible and dynamic user interfaces (UIs) has been recognized, especially in mobile applications. An ongoing research p...

Advances in wireless network technologies provide the basis for mobile computing. The wireless communication provides users with the ability to work while moving. However, mobile computing poses many constraints like frequent disconnections, low bandwidth and limited battery life, small memory etc. These constraints make mobile transaction processing environment different than centralize or dis...

This paper examines how mobile technologies and Web 2.0 applications are changing the ways their users are organizing and experiencing city space. Adopting de Certeau’s rhetoric of walking as a framework, this paper argues that mobile technologies with geolocation awareness combined with mapping mashups value map-space and location awareness rather than the city space as practiced place. Users ...

The paper examines how the use of mobile technologies such as tablets and handheld MP3 players can support and promote oral language production among young language learners. It explores how the use of these mobile technologies in the language classroom supports pedagogical practices anchored in socioconstructivist theories of SLA that emphasize the role of dialogue and social interaction among...

Wireless communication technologies are pervasive in today’s everyday environment. Together with the ever-dropping cost for equipment relying on such technology, this abundance gives rise to a wealth of applications well beyond communication itself. Utilizing communication technologies in the context of mobile sensing seems to be an especially promising approach, as mobile phones and other pers...
