Recent advancements in wireless communication technologies have attracted ad-hoc networking, which enables mobile users to communicate with each other without any infrastructure. While many ad-hoc routing protocols have been proposed, ad-hoc communication and its applications are not widespread. To expedite the widespread use of ad-hoc communications, we turn our attention to the handiest wirel...

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is one of the promising wireless networking approaches where a group of wireless devices can establish communication among themselves without any infrastructure. MANET has successfully been implemented in the emergency communication, battlefield and Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) etc. Recently, MANET has also been studied to establish village level off-thegrid te...

Mobile phones and stethoscopes used in neonatology units could be colonized by potentiel bacteria pathogens. It can be a vector of severe nosocomial infections and multi-drug-resistant pathogens. The aim of this study is to evaluate the microbial contamination of mobile phones and stethoscopes, used by medical and paramedical staff. The study was conducted in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)...

Mobile phones adoption and diffusion is a practical issue that has significant implications for e-commerce and m-commerce development. Examining the adoption of mobile phones from the well-developed theoretical foundation of innovation diffusion theory may clarify some significant factors that affect the adoption decision. Moreover, with the understanding of the influence sources of mobile phon...

In order to promote participatory researches using mobile phones, it is important to implement and show various application services by using existing mobile phones and wireless sensors. In this position paper, we describe experiences in developing a platform for mobile sensing services by using user’s everyday mobile phone which communicates with surrounding wireless sensors. We first describe...
