Development of smartphones and applications has opened a whole new world for mobile device users. Although this new world has many benefits due to a large diversity, regarding specific application domains, it is getting more complex day by day. In this study, a context-aware application recommendation system that recognizes the situation of users, predicts, and recommends the interactions that are likely to happen by the users in their specific context is developed. The proposed system is based on a hybridization of the Case-Based Reasoning and a Rule Based Reasoning approach that is derived from traditional association rule mining algorithms. Evaluation of the proposed model is done by using a real life dataset collected from individual records of four subjects. These four people were kept track for varying durations from approximately eight months to fourteen months. Results are encouraging when compared to that of previous studies in this domain. Therefore combining these two approaches provides an effective solution to the domain of recommendation systems. To the best of our knowledge, this kind of a hybrid approach has not been utilized in this domain.

GUI testing of android applications: a systematic mapping Aydın, Muzaffer; Betin Can, Aysu; Garousi, Vahid; Department of Information Systems (2014) Popularity of mobile devices is increasing rapidly all around the world. These devices can be used on various systems which are commonly used by the society. These systems are predicted to overtake desktop platform's popularity in the near future. Therefore the quality of mobile applications has vital importance. High quality applications can only be developed with good testing environments. Considering that multi-featured mobile applications have complex user interfaces, we decided to focus on graphical us...
A novel user activity prediction model for context aware computing systems Peker, Serhat; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2011) In the last decade, with the extensive use of mobile electronic and wireless communication devices, there is a growing need for context aware applications and many pervasive computing applications have become integral parts of our daily lives. Context aware recommender systems are one of the popular ones in this area. Such systems surround the users and integrate with the environment; hence, they are aware of the users' context and use that information to deliver personalized recommendations about everyday ...
An Efficient graph-theoretical approach for interactive mobile image and video segmentation Şener, Ozan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Over the past few years, processing of visual information by mobile devices getting more affordable due to the advances in mobile technologies. Efficient and accurate segmentation of objects from an image or video leads many interesting multimedia applications. In this study, we address interactive image and video segmentation on mobile devices. We first propose a novel interaction methodology leading better satisfaction based on subjective user evaluation. Due to small screens of the mobile devices, error ...
An Analysis on user profiles and usage preferences for mobile application recommendations Ünal, Perin; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2015) In this thesis, we investigated the relationship between personality features and mobile technology use, particularly the use of traditional communication channels such as voice calls and SMS messaging and rapidly evolving mobile applications, specifically in communication and commerce domains. This was the first study to investigate the relationship between different personality features and different aspects of mobile technology use to this extent. The rapid growth in the mobile application market present...
Customer value of mobile services Zubari, Sinem; Arifoğlu, Ali; Özden, M. Yaşar; Department of Information Systems (2010) Mobile devices are becoming widely common today. As the number of mobile devices continue to grow all around the world, its functionality is extending and mobile technologies are gaining more popularity in every aspect of our life. Today, wide range of mobile services is offered to people. The purpose of our study is examining the customer value of mobile services for individuals or citizens. A value model for mobile services has been proposed with five dimensions: Functional Value, Social Value, Emotional ...
