The reference process loads the presence information using the ID as a search key. Safety confirmation service registers a user's presence and refers to his/her friend's presence. However, existing systems require separate operations for registration and reference. Users need to enter their telephone number as an ID during the registration process and their friend's telephone number as an ID during the reference process. As a result, many steps are required for registration and reference operations. We therefore propose two methods to reduce the number of steps. The presence update method registers the card ID, location of card reader, date, and time by just swiping a contactless smart card through a card reader. The presence migration method from an external Social Networking Service (SNS) selects the place, date, and time in the external SNS using an email address. Both these methods are invoked by swiping the contactless smart card through the card reader, the registration and reference operations of presence information are executed at the same time. Using a prototype system that implemented these methods, we confirmed that the initial values can be obtained from external SNSs and many users can quickly register and refer safety information.","PeriodicalId":168212,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Intelligence in Next Generation Networks","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134240991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With time, customers are expecting good and very versatile applications in less time. It is a big challenge to develop high performance mobile applications in this competitive market that would meet the expectation of customers. Mobile operating systems vendors are giving their best available resources for making applications in more convenient ways, although the development of new applications for each mobile operating system in short time is fairly a problem. Cross-platform mobile application development tools contribute in solving this problem largely. This paper presents a pragmatic comparison among four very popular cross platform tools, which are Rhodes, PhoneGap, DragonRad and MoSync. One of the main focuses of the comparison is to provide an overview on the availability of application programming interfaces, programming languages, supported mobile operating systems, licences, and integrated development environments. Furthermore, it also presents some critical points such as the factor of extensibility in tools and the effects that they may bring on market share. The comparison is aimed at supporting developers to make the right choice with respect to their needs/constraints.","PeriodicalId":168212,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Intelligence in Next Generation Networks","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125896990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a “user-centric” model, which aims at unlocking such potentiality, by enabling individuals to control the gathering, management, use and sharing of data about them. In particular, the paper analyses a new personal data ecosystem centered around the role of “Bank of Individuals' Data” (BID), a provider of “personal data management services” enabling people to exploit their personal data. We call this role Bank as it manages data as commercial banks manage money. Finally, it discusses challenges and opportunities for Telcos to become a BID.","PeriodicalId":168212,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Intelligence in Next Generation Networks","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122914378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper analyzes the opportunities and challenges operators facing in this new field. To maximize the opportunities and to deal with the challenges, mobile network architecture needs to evolve to accommodate business requirements for mobile leased lines and business trunks.

Platform providers benefit from the availability of quality applications necessary to attract and retain end users to the platform. In this paper we present results from an original survey. We find that overall willingness to pay for applications remain low consumers are willing to pay for key apps which are perceived to significantly enhance everyday life.
