This special issue features seven selected papers with high
quality related to intelligent mobile applications. 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)
