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 recently developed approach in the mobile information systems domain, and enables users to be directly involved especially in the data collection, analysis and sharing processes through their mobile phones. The proposed framework is designed to incorporate this significant capability of participatory sensing into the consumer behavior domain. The aim of designing this framework is to build an effective, time and cost saving mobile information system for consumers by supporting their decision process. In addition to designing the framework, a working prototype is developed using mobile phones in order to show the applicability of the proposed framework. The obtained results are also presented with an overview of existing related studies. This study is also intended to serve as a base for further studies regarding the effective use of the participatory sensing approach and mobile information systems in the consumer behavior domain.

Exploring behavior change features for mobile workout applications ÜNAL, Perin; Cavdar, Seyma Kucukozer; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Eren, Pekin Erhan; IYENGAR, Sriram (2017-08-23) With the rapid emergence of mobile technologies in recent years, mobile health (m-health) has become fundamental to healthcare. Persuasion strategies and behavior change support features are widely used in m-health applications to increase the effectiveness of these applications on users. However, in the literature, there is a lack of research to analyze the current situation of m-health applications particularly from the perspective of behavior change approaches. In this study, the workout applications in ...
A Study on User Perception of Mobile Commerce for Android and iOS Device Users ÜNAL, PERİN; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2015-08-26) ustomer profiling in the mobile commerce (m-commerce) domain has recently gained importance due to the increased proliferation of smartphones and tablets. One of the major challenges confronting m-commerce developers is the need to know user perceptions of m-commerce applications in order to better design and deliver m-commerce services. In this paper, user perceptions of mobile commerce applications is analyzed based on their gender and the operating system (OS) of the devices in use, which are important f...
A Study on quality assessment on mobile B2C applications Yıldız, Ekrem; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2014) 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 p...
A Multimodal sensor analysis framework for vehicular mobile applications Orhan, Fatih; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2013) The sensing, computing and communicating capabilities of smart phones bring new possibilities for creating remarkable applications increasing the quality, safety, comfort, economy and other capabilities of cars. However, many challenges exist regarding the development of multimodal sensor analysis applications, such as proper collection of sensor values, integration of diverse libraries and tools for sharing the results. This study focuses on these challenges and aims to construct a framework that enables e...
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 ...
