We live in a digital world which controls our physical environment. The increasing use of wireless network supports these digital devices to use mostly people. People prefer mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets to personal computers or laptops. This brings that accessing to information and services is available any time and everywhere. This can be called ubiquitous computing. There is a high demand of pervasive computing applications and they have grown in the last years. However, a large group of people do not engage with these developments. This attracted the researchers to think this problem and they link it with usability of systems. In this study we reviewed 37 the articles which published on usability of ubiquitous computing. Within the scope of this study, the first stage is defining ubiquitous and usability. In the second stage, this paper organizes and classifies the literature on the area in order to facilitate future research. The review covers 37 peer reviewed journal articles from 18 journals published between 2000 and 2014. The resulting framework summarizes the progress in usability studies on pervasive computing environments research and provides future research directions.

A Distributed Monitoring and Reconfiguration Approach for Adaptive Network Computing Bhargava, Bharat; Angın, Pelin; Ranchal, Rohit; Lingayat, Sunil (2015-01-01) The past decade has witnessed immense developments in the field of network computing thanks to the rise of the cloud computing paradigm, which enables shared access to a wealth of computing and storage resources without needing to own them. While cloud computing facilitates on-demand deployment, mobility and collaboration of services, mechanisms for enforcing security and performance constraints when accessing cloud services are still at an immature state. The highly dynamic nature of networks and clouds ma...
A study of lightweight cryptography Çamur, Zeliha; Doğanaksoy, Ali; Department of Cryptography (2020) Technology is evolving rapidly and with technology, the internet is also changing. People used to use internet to connect to each other. But with the changes in recent years, the internet is starting to be used more to connect devices to each other. These devices can range from powerful computing devices, such as desktop computers and tablets, to resource contrained devices, such as RFID tags and sensor networks. When it comes to these constrained devices, conventional cryptographic algorithms fail to provi...
Enriching the Aesthetics of Mobile Music Player Interactions Through the Use of Personal Clothing and Accessories as Interfaces Şen, Güzin; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2019-01-01) There is growing integration of digital technologies to the physical domain. In this process digital technologies have expanded the expressive characteristics of physical products. However, in this integration, we should also discuss the way that physicality enriches our interactions with digital systems. This paper aims to attend to this discussion through mobile listening experience and explores how embodiment of personal clothing and accessories can enrich the aesthetics of mobile music player interactio...
Flexible querying using structural and event based multimodal video data model Oztarak, Hakan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2006-01-01) Investments on multimedia technology enable us to store many more reflections of the real world in digital world as videos so that we carry a lot of information to the digital world directly. In order to store and efficiently query this information, a video database system (VDBS) is necessary. We propose a structural, event based and multimodal (SEBM) video data model which supports three different modalities that are visual, auditory and textual modalities for VDBSs and we can dissolve these three modaliti...
A Multi-perspective Analysis of Social Context and Personal Factors in Office Settings for the Design of an Effective Mobile Notification System ÇAVDAR, ŞEYMA; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Musolesi, Mirco; Tino, Peter (2020-03-01) In this study, we investigate the effects of social context, personal and mobile phone usage on the inference of work engagement/challenge levels of knowledge workers and their responsiveness to well-being related notifications. Our results show that mobile application usage is associated to the responsiveness and work engagement/challenge levels of knowledge workers. We also developed multi-level (within- and between-subjects) models for the inference of attentional states and engagement/challenge levels w...
