Cloud computing is an exceptional paradigm, which is facilitating the developments and utilization of resources over the internet. Fog computing operates at the edge of the network saving bandwidth, by not sending all information to the cloud, while edge computing does processing of data at the edge of the cloud. Edge computing reduces the distance…

The air compressor of a railroad vehicle is an important equipment that produces compressed air used in braking systems. New visual interaction techniques were proposed and evaluated to develop effective augmented reality content for maintenance support and training of this device. To this end, modeling techniques capable of fast animation, storyboard production to support light…

Sign language is a form of communication language designed to link a deaf-mute person to the world. To express an idea it requires the use of hand gestures and body movement. However, the bulk of the general population remain uneducated to understand the sign language. Therefore, a translator is required to facilitate the communication. This…

Lately, the use of mobile learning has increased in higher education at a global level. Especially after the new Coronavirus (Covid-19). Therefore, trust issues towards the benefits of mobile learning are still important matters just as important as quality dimensions (e.g. service quality, information quality and system quality) for both technology and its content. These…

In Opportunistic Mobile social networks (OMSNs), the social characteristics and behavior of humans carrying mobile devices are exploited to improve information provision and data routing in the network. Social-based routing algorithms attempt to exploit users’ social features such as similarity, centrality and betweenness, singularly or combined, to select a suitable relay node among neighbors. However,…

Today, computing devices of various types with wireless interconnections are used for diverse tasks and increasingly in ad hoc manners. It is not always obvious which devices are present, reachable, and connected when users and their devices are mobile. In such mobile computing environment, the number of registered lines on the network via network operators…

Mobile devices are differed from desktop based systems in terms of particular execution environment, constrained resources, and high mobility requirement. To overcome these shortcomings, various agile based methodologies are developed for native mobile applications such as Mobile-D, Scrum etc. These agile techniques are based on various phases and these phases begin from exploring, initializing and…

This paper builds on the realization that since mobile devices have become a common tool for researchers to collect, process, and analyze large quantities of data, we are now entering a generation where the creation of solutions to difficult real-world problems will mostly come in the form of mobile device apps. One such relevant real-life…

In this paper, a novel is proposed for real-time tracking human targets in cases of high influence from complexity environment with a normal camera. Firstly, based on Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF features, the Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow algorithm is used to track reliable keypoints. This method represents a valuable performance to decline the effect of…

Technological developments in the Internet and communications have created a vastly complex and dynamic context with diverse heterogeneous networks and fast growth of mobile devices and multimedia. As the Internet becomes the primary mode of communication for many organisations there is requirement to enhance quality of service (QoS) from heterogeneous systems and networks. Traditional networks…

In this paper, a frequency-tunable antenna is proposed based on a previous antenna which has a ladder shape and a size of 120 x 50 mm2. It is fed using a coaxial cable and it is operational at 700 MHz which is in the UHF band with a bandwidth of 30 MHz. Varactors, having a…

With the introduction of new services and new more sophisticated mobile devices the radio network operators are faced with new challanges to increase the system performance. The most recent standards introduced by 3GPP for the new architectures of the Long Term Evolution network address these issues and outline possibilities for optimizing network performance and user…

To use IP services continually while users are moving with their mobile devices, IP mobility management that enables them to keep IP communication is necessary. Although Mobile IP is a popular method to manage IP mobility, Mobile IP has a problem that there is a possibility of a mobile node (MN) communicating over a redundant…
