The papers included in this special issue have been selected among 30 papers. The first paper, BA POI-aware Power Saving Scheme for Ubiquitous Touring Service using Mobile Devices over the Cellular and Wi-Fi Hybrid Network^, authored by ChaoHsien Lee, Chung-Ming Huang and Wei-Shuang Chen presents PETS BPower Efficient Touring Scheme^. This research work considers the peculiarities of a pedestrian touring service and concentrates on how to save battery power of mobile devices smartly. The system is able to dynamically adjust the GPS sampling rate with the help of embedded sensors based on the relationship among the current geo-location, motion behavior and physical environment, this scheme downloads neighboring POIs using cellular network. PEST considers communication restrictions of heterogeneous wireless technologies, including cellular network and Wi-Fi. The second paper, BIntelligent mobile system for improving spatial design support and security inside buildings^, authored by Janusz Bedkowski, Karol Majek, Piotr Majek, Pawel Musialik, Michal Pelka and Andreas Nuechter presents an Intelligent mobile application for spatial design support and security domain, specially designed for protection of urban environments including critical infrastructures. The system defines a Complex Shape Histogram and an artificial intelligence engine, used for classifying 3D point clouds with Support Vector Machine. The Complex Shape Histograms is used for loop closing detection in the simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm. The proposed system was tested in the Museum of the History of Polish Jews (Warsaw, Poland), and Airport in Łódź, Poland. The third paper BNFC and Cloud-based Lightweight Anonymous Assessment Mobile Intelligent Information System for Higher Education and Recruitment Competitions^ authored by Sergio Rios-Aguilar, Jordán Pascual Espada and Ruben Gonzalez Crespo. This research work proposes a solution to the Anonymous Assessment problem. NFC Secured Exams, is a low cost and secure anonymous assessment solution in which the data is digitally encrypted and inserted in NFC tags so that only the system can relate that digital information with the corresponding student. The system is useful to guarantee the students anonymity, reduce the time spent handing in the exams and increasing the overall efficiency of requesting exam reviews. The solution can combines the NFC technology with the S-Pen technology or a capacitive stylus in a double validation process. The forth paper BFramework for Enhancing Mobile Availability of RESTful Services: A Connectivity-Aware and Risk-Driven Approach^ authored by Shang-Pin Ma, Wen-Tin Lee, Ping-Chang Chen and Chi-Chia Li. Authors propose a connectivity-aware, risk-driven (CARD) approach to the delivery of RESTful services. The CARD framework is proposed as a means of enhancing the mobile availability of RESTful services for smartphones under a variety of wireless network conditions. CARD responds to current network conditions by performing prefetch service responses and using cached services when connected to a high speed wireless network, using cached services when the network is unstable, and allowing the user to request cached services from other users when no wireless network is available. The fifth paper BGreenBikeNet: An Intelligent Mobile Application with Green Wireless Networking for Cycling in Smart Cities^ authored by Osama M.F. Abu-Sharkh1 and Zaid Dabain. The paper presents a mobile application with intelligent systems to provide services for cyclists and enhance their cycling experiences in Smart cities. The application uses smartphones and low-power ZigBee technology for ad-hoc networking. Cyclists can join either public networks or create their own private networks to exchange information and utilize several developed services, like voice communication and intelligent geo-localization systems which uses smartphone’s GPS receiver to provide real-time geo-locations and speeds of all cyclists connected to the same network on a visual interactive map. The sixth BMulti-hop Mobility Prediction^ authored by Zhiyong Yu, Zhiwen Yu and Yuzhong Chen. This paper propose a novel algorithm to expand the application value of mobility prediction and resolve the limitation of one-hop mobility prediction. The authors define a multi-hop mobility prediction system and propose a firstorder Markov (...truncated)
