In this article, we present a distributed framework for collecting and analyzing environmental and location data recorded by human users (carriers) with the use of portable sensors. We demonstrate the data mining analysis potential among…
Sharing location traces with context-aware service providers has privacy implications. Location-privacy preserving mechanisms, such as obfuscation, anonymization and cryptographic primitives, have been shown to have impractical…
Android applications collecting data from users must protect it according to the current legal frameworks. Such data protection has become even more important since the European Union rolled out the General Data Protection Regulation…
Mobile applications are required to give privacy notices to the users when they collect or share personal information. Creating consistent and concise privacy notices can be a challenging task for developers. Previous work has attempted to…
Smart devices generate vast amounts of big data, mainly in the form of sensor data. While allowing for the prediction of many aspects of human behaviour (e.g., physical activities, transportation modes), this data has a major limitation in…
As music has become more available especially on music streaming platforms, people have started to have distinct preferences to fit to their varying listening situations, also known as context. Hence, there has been a growing interest in…
Context-aware applications process context information to support users in their daily tasks and routines. These applications can adapt their functionalities by aggregating context information through machine-learning and data processing…
Big Data on electronic records of social interactions allow approaching human behaviour and sociality from a quantitative point of view with unforeseen statistical power. Mobile telephone Call Detail Records (CDRs), automatically collected…
The pursuit of improved accuracy in recommender systems has led to the incorporation of user context. Context-aware recommender systems typically handle large amounts of data which must be uploaded and stored on the cloud, putting the…
Virtual reality (VR) platforms and apps collect user sensor data, including motion, facial, eye, and hand data, in abstracted form. These data may expose users to unique privacy risks without their knowledge or meaningful awareness, yet the…
A student reads a textbook to learn a new topic; an attorney leafs through familiar legal documents. Each reader may have a different goal for, and prior knowledge of, their reading. A mobile context, which captures interaction behavior,…
This paper describes a real world deployment of a context-aware mobile app recommender system (RS) called Frappe. Utilizing a hybrid-approach, we conducted a large-scale app market deployment with 1000 Android users combined with a…
The recent decade has witnessed phenomenal growth in communication technology. Development of user-friendly software platforms, such as Facebook, WhatsApp etc. have facilitated ease of communication and thereby people have started freely…
Mobile apps that use location data are pervasive, spanning domains such as transportation, urban planning and healthcare. Important use cases for location data rely on statistical queries, e.g., identifying hotspots where users work and…
Mobile devices have become essential for capturing human activity, and eXtended Data Records (XDRs) offer rich opportunities for detailed user behavior modeling, which is useful for designing personalized digital services. Previous studies…
Recommender Systems have not been explored to a great extent for improving health and subjective wellbeing. Recent advances in mobile technologies and user modelling present the opportunity for delivering such systems, however the key issue…
Many accessibility features available on mobile platforms require applications (apps) to provide complete and accurate metadata describing user interface (UI) components. Unfortunately, many apps do not provide sufficient metadata for…
The COVID-19 pandemic has fueled the development of smartphone applications to assist disease management. Many "corona apps" require widespread adoption to be effective, which has sparked public debates about the privacy, security, and…
