This paper is about implementing and using intelligent reusable user interface components. Motivation for such components is provided. A standardized approach for constructing and using them using X11, OSF/Motif and C++ is introduced. A sample implementation of the paradigm is introduced. The sample implementation has recently been adopted as the standard method for creating and using reusable ...

Today’s mobile phones are like small computers. With the phone the user has access to information similar to a PC user. Some of the phones have GPS embedded. When this is not the case alternative positioning options are available. In this paper purposive sampling is used to select 25 mobile applications for travelers in situ. The purpose of the paper is to gain insight in whether or not spatiot...

Global enterprises have met challenges in managing and leading multi-site projects, working in virtual teams, sharing knowledge, and utilizing new communication technology. Several claims stress that conventional faceto-face practices form an essential part of successful project co-working. But, this is often impossible in globally dispersed projects. New information and communication technolog...

Increasingly, many smartphones (i.e., Apple iPhone, Google Android, PalmPre, Blackberry Storm and Bold, and Nokia S60) today are equipped with standards-based Web browsers that facilitate access to and interaction with the Web. In some cases, like Nokia S60 series, the smartphones add a web application runtime environment that runs widgets. Like the desktop widgets, Web-based mobile widgets are...

Performance problems are often observed in embedded software systems. The reasons for poor performance are frequently not obvious. Bottlenecks can occur in any of the software components along the execution path. Therefore it is important to instrument and monitor the different components contributing to the runtime behavior of an embedded software system. Performance analysis tools can help lo...

The accuracy of different GPS devices for sampling of trees required for the early yield forecast was studied in two years’ campaign. In our experiment March II, PDA ASUS P565 and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic were used. To determine the positions and their accuracy, 245 randomly trees were selected from 245 orchards. We found out that the measurements made in two years with MARCH II deviated in avera...

Brand attachment is a relationship between the enterprise and consumers which is of a higher level and stronger strength than repeated purchase behavior. Virtual brand community provides a medium of exchange for brand information, experience and feeling for customers, can supply extra brand involvement and brand value, and is an important carrier of the establishment of brand attachment relatio...
