The rapid growth in the mobile application market presents a significant challenge to find interesting and relevant applications for users. Recommendation systems deal with ends such as movies and consumer goods that are consumed by users where similarity between consumer tastes is generally taken into account. On the other hand, recommendation systems for mobile applications differ from traditional systems in terms of the characteristics of the ends they recommend. They present applications that are not just the ends for consumption but also means to reach various ends. In almost all application stores mobile applications are grouped under headings that employ consensus or authority influence strategies such as the most popular, most downloaded, editor's choice or applications of the day. However in the literature, there is limited information about the users' perception of such influence strategies and underlying factors that lie beyond the users' preferences. The traditional persuasion literature suggests that people are more likely to accept recommendations when the sources display persuasive messages during the interaction. However the effect of visibility modality in the display has not been extensively studied. The effects of visible and semi-visible persuasive messages are analyzed and compared in this study. The users' compliance with persuasive messages in the mobile application recommendation domain is examined. The question of how the persuadability of users affects their compliance is further explored.

What installed mobile applications tell about their owners and how they affect users' download behavior ÜNAL, Perin; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2017-11-01) The rapid growth in the mobile application market presents a significant challenge to find interesting and relevant applications for users. An experimental study was conducted through the use of a specifically designed mobile application, on users' mobile phones. The goals were; first, to learn about the users' personality and the applications they downloaded to their mobile phones, second to recommend applications to users via notifications through the use of experimental mobile application and learn about...
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 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...
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 Optimal application partitioning and computational offloading framework for mobile cloud computing Kaya, Mahir; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2016) The use of mobile applications is increasing every day and they offer more functionality on mobile devices. However, these devices are inferior to server computers in terms of memory and processor capacity. Furthermore, rapid depletion of mobile devices’ energy resources is still a major problem. Performance and energy shortcomings of mobile devices can be improved by using surrogate or cloud computing technologies. In this thesis, an offloading framework is proposed to improve the performance and efficienc...
