Monitoring Usage Context Is An Essential Part Of Any System

The excessive use of computers has drastically changed the lives of many users. As a multifaceted tool, the computer is used for tasks to include research, homework, business related

To facilitate proper exchange of information, the systems governing the communication needs to inherit all the characteristics of non-health IT systems with added emphasis on Privacy and Security. Framework should also be able to provide better representation of inferred data. Responsive communication platforms taking into account the various ways of information access like handheld devices, desktops, laptops etc can facilitate easy access to information. Apart from all these, the framework should also consider innovative ways of data assimilation such as sensors, wearables , social platforms etc[7]

A context diagram consists of a high level view of the system that helps us establish the boundaries of the current system under investigation and thus allowed us to implement our proposal. The context diagram can be useful to identify the project scope and help secure agreements with the consignors. The current system above shows how the current recordkeeping system interacts with different entities or sources and how the flow of information is being

Abstract- The usage of smart phones is increasing nowadays, so the need for mobile applications has also increased as they make the life of end users easy. Android platform is one of the platforms that make the usage and development of these applications easy. As android is open source and the development of application and its usage is easy these features make android platform one of the popular platforms for a mobile application. [Ref-4]

Smart phone apps and e-diaries have become much more accessible and easy to use throughout the years. We are currently experiencing a technological boom with the development of smart phone apps and user friendly e-diaries for data collection. Due to the transient nature of society,

Smartphones are a mobile technology that utilizes an advanced operating system in portable devices. Currently, the advanced operating systems employed on smartphones are IOS and Android. IOS was developed by Apple and is exclusive to its mobile devices only. However, Android is an open source operating system that is utilized by various smartphones on the market. Nevertheless, current smartphones employing either operating system encompasses the capabilities of a cell phone, camera, computer, mp3 player, external hard drive, GPS, and internet connection. This collection of technology on one device makes it very advantageous for businesses and convenient for individuals. According to Smith (2015), this is supported by the fact that 64% of American adults have a smartphone for various tasks.

Since a set of personally important situations, which affect user preferences, is user-dependent, and since many situations can be described only in fuzzy terms, we provide users with an easy way to develop personal context ontology and to map it fuzzily into common ontology via

Although traditional software packages used to track usage patterns to catch bugs with a goal to improve user experience as a whole, the recent growth of web applications (which includes dynamic websites ranging from digital content consumption, interaction and production— which in turn is really a small subset of whole ecosystem)

Contextual search launched and successful, overtaking Google on this future area of search engine technology.

The modern “smartphone” is becoming the most desired communication device available. Nearly all businesspeople utilize the technology to stay current on their work tasks, and nearly every common layperson is impelled to possess these devices for entertainment and service applications. “Smartphones have… a real Web browser and a variety of other services, including GPS, a camera and a wide variety of other applications” (Sinisalo 6). The capabilities of modern cell phones have undoubtedly marked an unprecedented shift in convenient communication, entertainment, and service technology.

Smartphone Pentest Framework (SPF) is another useful Android application tool. This application tool was created by Bulb Security. The Smartphone Pentest Framework (SPF) basically allows the user to access the security of other smartphones in the area. This application is a open source security tool and this application is designed to help users in assessing or evaluate the security in smartphones in the vicinity. It is basically created to target

The Jakob Nielson’s 2nd heuristic is the match between system and the real world. The system should speak the user’s language, with words, phrases, and concepts for users, rather than system-oriented terms. Follow real world conventions, making information appear in a natural and logical order (Nielson, 1995). The paper we will introduce three interactive items correlating between the system and the real world. Applying Neilson’s 2nd heuristic with the three interactive items will assist the user with the understanding of the language, vocabulary, and concepts that the user can apply to real world. In addition, the users can apply this to real events in order to interact with the system itself

The exponential growth of the technological age has ushered in an era of ever expanding reliance and simplicity, in the way in which we interact with every-day technology, more specifically; general software & internet based applications.

Reading 1: Using Task Context to Improve Programmer Productivity Multitasking is good when it comes to computer programs, letting them do more with less. But when computer programmers start multitasking, productivity flies out the door. Programmers have to keep a lot of things in their heads at once, and the more they remember, the more productive they are. A programmer coding at full throttle is keeping zillions of things in their head at once. Everything from names of variables, data structures, important APIs, the names of utility functions that they call a lot, even the name of the subdirectory where they store their source code. On top of that, as applications have become more collaborative, complex, modular, and distributed, developers are having to track an increasing number of tasks and deal with more interruptions from the people with whom they 're collaborating. As a result, they 're multitasking more frequently and becoming less productive. Keeping programmers productive in these fragmented work environments is a challenge for large software developers as well as for IT shops developing for end users. In this paper, the authors present a mechanism that captures, models, and persists the elements and relations relevant to a task. They show how these task context model reduces information overload and focuses a programmer’s work by filtering and ranking the information presented by the development environment. Operations
