Owing to the widespread and ubiquitous nature of mobile technologies, a large amount of data about users including location, access and interaction behavior is currently available. This data has recently become important as it has the potential to reveal personal information, social context and user characteristics, which can be significant for effective health interventions through mobile phones. Accordingly, this thesis mainly aims to explore the individual differences of knowledge workers and social context in order to infer their available moments using mobile sensor data. A hybrid personalized model is presented as a novel approach for this purpose. Based on the model results, it is found that time, location characteristics, ringer mode, and user activity are effective in predicting availability. In addition, it is investigated how knowledge workers’ engagement/challenge levels during work hours are related to their personality traits, social norms in office environments, and mobile application usage. The results show that personality traits and mobile application usage during work hours are significantly related to the engagement and challenge levels, however, social norms have a marginal effect on them. The results of the study present valuable implications for further studies and mobile application designs, which aim to understand the individual differences of employees in office environments.

Location Prediction of Mobile Phone Users Using Apriori-Based Sequence Mining with Multiple Support Thresholds Keles, Ilkcan; Ozer, Mert; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Karagöz, Pınar (2014-09-19) Due to the increasing use of mobile phones and their increasing capabilities, huge amount of usage and location data can be collected. Location prediction is an important task for mobile phone operators and smart city administrations to provide better services and recommendations. In this work, we propose a sequence mining based approach for location prediction of mobile phone users. More specifically, we present a modified Apriori-based sequence mining algorithm for the next location prediction, which invo...
Next-Generation Payment System for Device-to-Device Content and Processing Sharing Kihtir, Fatih; Yazıcı, Mehmet Akif; Oztoprak, Kasim; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (2022-04-01) Recent developments in telecommunication world have allowed customers to share the storage and processing capabilities of their devices by providing services through fast and reliable connections. This evolution, however, requires building an incentive system to encourage information exchange in future telecommunication networks. In this study, we propose a mechanism to share bandwidth and processing resources among subscribers using smart contracts and a blockchain-based incentive mechanism, which is used ...
A Mobile Participatory Framework for the Consumer Decision Process ÖZARSLAN, SÜLEYMAN; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2013-09-27) With the recent advances in mobile technologies, the role of mobile information systems has been increasing within the consumer behavior domain. Accordingly, we propose a holistic framework which supports consumers on all stages of the consumer decision process by using the participatory sensing approach. The consumer decision process is the major part of the consumer behavior, and represents the set of stages a consumer follows when purchasing a product. On the other hand, participatory sensing is a recent...
Semantic Edge Caching and Prefetching in 5G MEHTEROĞLU, Can; DURMUŞ, Yunus; Onur, Ertan (2017-01-11) Recent popularity of mobile devices increased the demand for mobile network services and applications that require minimal delay. 5G mobile networks are expected to provide much lesser delay than the present mobile networks. One of the conventional ways for decreasing the latency is caching the content closer to the end user. However, currently deployed methods are not effective enough. In this work-in-progress paper, we propose a new astute caching strategy that is able to smartly predict subsequent user r...
Integrating social features into mobile local search KAHVECİ, basri; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; ULUSOY, ÖZGÜR (2016-12-01) As availability of Internet access on mobile devices develops year after year, users have been able to make use of search services while on the go. Location information on these devices has enabled mobile users to use local search services to access various types of location-related information easily. Mobile local search is inherently different from general web search. Namely, it focuses on local businesses and points of interest instead of general web pages, and finds relevant search results by evaluating...
