This study aims to provide mechanisms to analyze the quality of the Business to Customer (B2C) mobile software products based on mobile-specific characteristics and quality factors, and sub-factors based on ISO 25010 product quality model which would help mobile software developers, designers and testers to develop more effective mobile applications. We aim to help development of more qualified and effective mobile applications from not only developers’ perspective but also endusers’ perspective. For this purpose, a mixed research method was used to obtain valid and reliable results. Mixed research method consists of the application of questionnaire with 34 software developers, 34 mobile developers, 24 IT experts, and 23 end users who have experienced with B2C mobile applications, and semistructured interviews with 3 mobile developers, 2 software developers, 3 IT experts, and 2 end users.

An Exploratory Study on the Outcomes of Influence Strategiesin Mobile Application Recommendations
Ünal, Perin; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Eren, Pekin Erhan (null; 2014-05-23)
The rapid growth in the mobile application market presents a significant challenge to find interesting and relevant applications for users. Recommendation systems deal with ends such as movies and consumer goods that are consumed by users where similarity between consumer tastes is generally taken into account. On the other hand, recommendation systems for mobile applications differ from traditional systems in terms of the characteristics of the ends they recommend. They present applications that are not ju...
Development of a technology acceptance model for mobile payment systems
Örs, Mehmet Erdem; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2018)
This thesis aims to develop a technology adoption model by inspecting acceptance of mobile payment (MP) systems literature from different perspectives. This study can be divided into two main parts. In the first part of the thesis, acceptance of mobile payment systems is examined in detail. In the second part, a technology acceptance model is developed by using the findings of literature. Related literature is reviewed from 2005 to end of March 2018. Literature review provides information about studies’ loc...
An Optimal application partitioning and computational offloading framework for mobile cloud computing
Kaya, Mahir; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2016)
The use of mobile applications is increasing every day and they offer more functionality on mobile devices. However, these devices are inferior to server computers in terms of memory and processor capacity. Furthermore, rapid depletion of mobile devices’ energy resources is still a major problem. Performance and energy shortcomings of mobile devices can be improved by using surrogate or cloud computing technologies. In this thesis, an offloading framework is proposed to improve the performance and efficienc...
What installed mobile applications tell about their owners and how they affect users' download behavior
ÜNAL, Perin; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2017-11-01)
The rapid growth in the mobile application market presents a significant challenge to find interesting and relevant applications for users. An experimental study was conducted through the use of a specifically designed mobile application, on users' mobile phones. The goals were; first, to learn about the users' personality and the applications they downloaded to their mobile phones, second to recommend applications to users via notifications through the use of experimental mobile application and learn about...
ORganizational adoption of mobile communication technologies
Arpaci, Ibrahim; Yardimci, Yasemin; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Türetken, Özgür (null; 2012-01-01)
This study aims to identify important adoption factors for mobile communication technologies in private sector organizations. Grounded in the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Porter's Competitive Forces Model and the Technology-Organization-Environment Framework, we develop an integrated model to study the determinants of organizational adoption of mobile communication technologies. Data will be collected from middle and senior managers using a mixed-method approach. Identification of the organizational adop...
