“…From this data we can draw the conclusion that sporting facilities work well as settings for interactive displays. This may be due to several factors, such as a high number of children and teenagers, but also the extent to which the physical environment instills trust in users, as shown in [17]. From our empirical evidence we have found that youngsters often have an open view on new technology, and are willing to try it out without encouragement or external reward.…”

Abstract. This paper presents a case study on the iterative design of a system for delivering in-situ information services to users' mobile devices using proximity-based technologies. The design advances from a questionnaire study of the users' attitudes and needs toward such information services via several incremental prototypes evaluated in a usability lab and at a university campus to the final version subjected to longitudinal evaluation "in-the-wild" in a city center. The final prototype is a hybrid interface where the users can select from an interactive public display the information services to be downloaded to their personal mobile devices over no-cost Bluetooth connection. The results include an empirical comparison of different models for delivering such information services, and a quantitative analysis of the usage of the system by the general public over a period of 100 days. Our findings suggest that multiple environmental factors strongly affect the usage of the system. Furthermore, the usage varies distinctly between different contexts, and there is a strong correlation between location and usage patterns. Finally, we present a number of guidelines for designing and deploying this type of hybrid user interfaces.

“…An alternative method is to observe the activity and interactions of unidentified mobile users in public spaces (e.g., a train, an airport, a town square, etc. [12]), although crossinterpreting the findings with those from, for instance, interviews with identified participants would be difficult.…”

Mobile privacy concerns are central to Ubicomp and yet remain poorly understood. We advocate a diversified approach, enabling the cross-interpretation of data from complementary methods. However, mobility imposes a number of limitations on the methods that can be effectively employed. We discuss how we addressed this problem in an empirical study of mobile social networking. We report on how, by combining a variation of experience sampling and contextual interviews, we have started focusing on a notion of context in relation to privacy, which is subjectively defined by emerging socio-cultural knowledge, functions, relations and rules. With reference to Gieryn's sociological work, we call this place, as opposed to a notion of context that is objectively defined by physical and factual elements, which we call space. We propose that the former better describes the context for mobile privacy.

“…This complexity places great strain on communication systems with issues in the management of the interactions and the ability to enable the delivery of services whilst maintaining security [29]. Service delivery demands knowledge (contextual information) which identifies user(s) environmental and proximate states, and network infrastructure to effectively target service provision.…”

“…It has been observed in [30] that client server architectures are characterized by the dependence on a central server; LSDS are characterized by the client server paradigm where services provided in distributed systems, often implemented using cloud-based solutions [1,2], are becoming pervasive and ubiquitous [2,29]. In interactions in using ad hoc networks the dynamic nature of such networks presents issues in connecting to a globally accessible server.…”

There has been a paradigm shift in the way users interact with computerized systems and applications. This is driven by the increasing power and ubiquity of 'smart' mobile devices and the traction being generated in Cloudbased systems and the long-term evolution in service provision using Software-as-a-Service. These developments are supported by the rapid and far reaching developments in the related networking infrastructures. This paper considers the nature of Situational Awareness and addresses augmented context, Web 2.0, social media the Internet of Things, and the complexity of context. Mobile networks are considered with large-scale distributed systems and Cloud-based solutions. An illustration of the potential usage of collaborative interactions is presented to demonstrate the benefits which may be derived and the challenges faced. The paper closes with a discussion and conclusions including the identification of future directions for research and open research questions. The paper concludes that augmented context and Situational Awareness forms a central role in the effective provision of services going forward in Cloud-based systems accessed using mobile systems.
