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 involves use of multiple support thresholds for different levels of pattern generation process. The proposed algorithm involves a new support definition, as well. We have analyzed the behaviour of the algorithm under the change of threshold through experimental evaluation and the experiments indicate improvement in comparison to conventional Apriori-based algorithm.

Predicting the Next Location Change and Time of Change for Mobile Phone Users Ozer, Mert; Keles, Ilkcan; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Karagöz, Pınar; Ergut, Salih (2014-11-04) Predicting the next location of people from their mobile phone logs has become an active research area. Due to two main reasons this problem is very challenging: the log data is very large and there are variety of granularity levels for specifying the spatial and the temporal attributes. In this work, we focus on predicting the next location change of the user and when this change occurs. Our method has two steps, namely clustering the spatial data into larger regions and grouping temporal data into time in...
Methods for location prediction of mobile phone users Keleş, İlkcan; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) 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 have investigated several approaches for location prediction problem including clustering, classification and sequential pattern mining. We propose a sequence mining based approach for location prediction of mobil...
Predicting the Location and Time of Mobile Phone Users by Using Sequential Pattern Mining Techniques Ozer, Mert; Keles, Ilkcan; Toroslu, Hakki; Karagöz, Pınar; Davulcu, Hasan (2016-06-01) In recent years, using cell phone log data to model human mobility patterns became an active research area. This problem is a challenging data mining problem due to huge size and non-uniformity of the log data, which introduces several granularity levels for the specification of temporal and spatial dimensions. This paper focuses on the prediction of the location of the next activity of the mobile phone users. There are several versions of this problem. In this work, we have concentrated on the following th...
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...
Mobile user data mining to infer knowledge workers' differences in office environments for effective health delivery Çavdar, Şeyma; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2019) 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 cont...
