Cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and stroke affect millions of people in the United States annually.1 Despite significant advances in medical treatments for these conditions, they remain a major public health problem and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.1 A critical common element in optimizing care and outcomes for these conditions is the timely recognition of symptoms and initiation of treatment. For example, rapid initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is associated with improved survival from cardiac arrest.2 Similarly, early recognition and presentation after onset of symptoms of AMI and ischemic stroke enable implementation of critical therapies such as primary angioplasty and thrombolysis, which are known to improve outcomes.1 Indeed, the “Chain of Survival” for emergency cardiovascular and cerebrovascular care (ECCC) starts with prompt identification of the condition and early activation of the healthcare system to rapidly initiate care.3 Unfortunately, despite national efforts that include public education initiatives and clinical practice guideline recommendations from entities such as the American Heart Association (AHA), major gaps remain in the timely identification of symptoms and initiation of ECCC.4–6 As one example, studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have consistently noted delays in the initiation of bystander CPR.7 For AMI, there have been advances in the provision of timely primary angioplasty for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), as reflected by significant improvements in door-to-balloon times.8 However, the time from patient symptom onset to seeking care for possible myocardial infarction has not improved significantly.9,10 Similarly, for stroke, there continue to be advances in door-to-needle times, but stroke symptom recognition and seeking of treatment by patients and their families remain a major barrier to timely stroke care.11–16 Public and clinician education efforts alone are not sufficient to reduce gaps …

This paper reviews major issues of mobile technology and mobile web usage among university students, including characteristics, importance and problems faced by university students when accessing web sites through mobile devices. This article also reviews the technology adoption models/theories that will best explain the adoption of IT/IS. The author identified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the best model in explaining adoption of mobile web because TAM is the most suitable in explaining behavioural intention in the context of mobile devices. Mobile Web is the World Wide Web which is accessed through a mobile device such as laptop computer, smart phone or tablet. It establishes the entirety of the Internet and is not limited to webpages which have been specifically designed to be viewed through mobile devices. Distinctive features of mobile technology especially mobile web technology and its progressive impacts on information transfer and learning process has created many educational opportunities for higher education institutions. Although mobile devices are highly flexible, accessible and convenient, students are still facing great problems when they use mobile web for educational purpose.

Nowadays there is a growing trend towards using web based applications and web browsers in mobile devices such as cellular phones, PDAs, smart phones, and so on. However, interacting with these web interfaces tends to be a frustrating and unsatisfactory experience due to the existing accessibility barriers. Developing accessible web interfaces for mobile devices is a step towards user satisfaction in these environments. "Mobile Web Best Practices" are being discussed so that developers can have a valid reference when creating these web interfaces. However, since they do not have to be experts in the mobile web field, they need tools which automatically evaluate their applications and give them guidance during the development lifecycle. In this paper, EvalAccess, a polyvalent and flexible evaluation tool, has been transformed into a mobile web accessibility evaluation tool, EvalAccess MOBILE.

One of the premier applications on the global Internet is browsing the World Wide Web. The advent of advanced browser-enabled cell phones, high-speed wireless networks, and unlimited-data pricing plans is fueling the demand for Web access on mobile devices. Further, there is an increasing amount of content in the mobile Web, the set of web pages written in markup languages (CHTML, XHTML, and WML) designed specifically for consumption on mobile wireless devices. Understanding the structural properties of the WWW can be very helpful in a variety of applications, such as crawling the Web more efficiently, or performing better search results ranking. So far, however, this line of investigation has been limited to the Web consisting of HTML pages. In this study we examine the structural properties of the mobile Web graph inferred from a crawl of mobile markup pages. We find that the mobile Web graph differs in general from the fixed web in several important ways. Its connectivity is sparser than the fixed Web and its node degree distributions fall off much more rapidly. We further analyze the Web graph in terms of its bow-tie structure, which has been studied previously for the fixed web. The properties of the bow-tie structure for mobile Web are quite different from those of the fixed Web, such as having a smaller central core strongly connected component (SCC) and more disconnectedness. We also find the CHTML and XHTML/WML subgraphs of the mobile Web subgraph differ significantly, indicating the influence of different usage and maturity of the mobile Web in Japan compared to other countries. We also consider the domain-level graphs, where all nodes of a domain are collapsed into a single node and all inter- domain edges are hidden, and find notable differences between the fixed and mobile graphs. To our knowledge this is the first study of the structural properties of the web graph. We briefly comment on the potential implications of the findings, focusing on crawl as an example application.

Mobile web studies undertaken in 2008 confirm the dominance of social networking in the mobile web – where we have huge amounts of (mostly tagged) user-generated content (UGC) that call for appropriate methods for retrieval and highly interactive user interfaces. Unfortunately, existing mobile (social) web applications are less interactive and do rarely exploit user-provided tags or the user’s context for improving mobile interaction with such data. In this paper we present an approach and a map-based mobile social web application that allows for exploring the folksonomy space and related geo-referenced resources utilizing a gesture-driven orientation-based menu. Our prototype that runs on pen-based mobile devices was evaluated in a user study and yields promising results.

This article examines the potential of mobile computing and Web 2.0 technology to support knowledge building in formal and informal settings. Desktop-based knowledge building tools have limited affordances of supporting one-to-one access, learning in situ, and seamless integration in and out of school environments. In this initial study, we explore how recent advances of mobile and Web 2.0 technologies can be utilized to support seamless knowledge building processes and to enhance contextualized learning experiences across multiple locations. Using design research as a methodological framework, we analyzed current practices and configurations of mobile learning in one primary school in Singapore, and codesigned a learning scenario with teachers toward seamless knowledge building experiences. The artifacts of primary grade 4 students created in the Google Maps space were analyzed to examine the knowledge building processes based on a location-based mobile learning scenario. We conclude by discussing both possibilities and challenges of knowledge building using mobile Web 2.0 technologies based on our early experiences.

Financial literacy is a person's skills regarding financial knowledge and behavior. In 2019, the National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion (SNLIK) stated that Indonesia had a low level of financial literacy with a percentage of 38.03%. In 2016, the Indonesian government incorporated financial literacy into the K13 curriculum for the high school level to improve financial literacy at the student level. In line with that, students need facilities to help them learn financial literacy. This study aims to build an interaction design of financial mathematics calculators using the User-Centered Design method. The limitation of this study is the design uses a mobile web platform that targets high school students. The results of usability testing on effectiveness get an average task-completion rate score of 92.3%, an average efficiency of 92.0% overall relative efficiency, user satisfaction using the System Usability Scale (SUS) gets a score of 93.2 for the usability factor and a score of 74 for the learnability factor. The findings of this study indicate that the application is easy to use and provides a positive experience in learning financial literacy. The current study's results will support this application's use in future research as a new tool for providing financial literacy.

Mobile banking, sometimes referred to as M-Banking, Mbanking or SMS Banking, is a term used for performing balance checks, account transactions, payments, credit applications and other banking transactions through a mobile device such as a mobile phone or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). Mobile banking has until recently most often been performed via SMS or the Mobile Web. Apple's initial success with iPhone and the rapid growth of phones based on Google's Android (operating system) have led to increasing use of special client programs, called apps, downloaded to the mobile device hence increasing the number of banking applications that can be made available on mobile phones . This in turn has increased the popularity of mobile device use in regards to personal banking activities. Due to the characteristics of wireless medium, limited protection of the nodes, nature of connectivity and lack of centralized managing point, wireless networks tend to be highly vulnerable and more often than not they become subjects of attack. This paper proposes to identify potential threats associated with communication between a mobile device and the back end server in mobile banking applications. The paper should be able to identify the techniques associated with Man in the middle attacks during communication between a mobile device and a back end server and propose controls that will ensure that data theft does not occur during such sessions.

Keynote II: User Centred Design for the Mobile Web

The Web today, powered by Web server, application server technology, and Web services, is the lingua franca of the bulk of contents out on the Internet. As computing and communications options become ubiquitous, this Internet access capability is being embedded in billions of wireless devices such as PDAs, cellular phones, and computers embedded in vehicles. The Mobile Web is extending the Web through mobile information access, with the promise of greater information access opportunity, richer and device-spanning Web experiences, due to continuous availability and location awareness. In addition, advances in positioning technologies, mobile hardware, and the growing popularity and availability of mobile communications have made many devices location-aware. Location-based information management has become an important problem in mobile computing systems. Furthermore, the computational capabilities in mobile devices continue to rise, making mobile devices increasingly accessible. However, much research efforts to date have been devoted to location management in centralized location monitoring systems. Very few have studied the distributed approach to real-time location management. We argue that for mobile applications that need to manage a large and growing number of mobile objects, the centralized approaches do not scale well in terms of server load and network bandwidth, and are vulnerable to single point of failure. In this keynote, I will describe the distributed location service architecture, and discuss some important opportunities and challenges of mobile location based services (LBSs) in future computing environments. I will first review the research and development of LBSs in the past decade, focusing on system scalability, robustness, and performance measurements. Then I will discuss some important challenges for wide deployment of distributed location-based services in mission-critical applications and future computing environments. Not surprisingly, the mobile web and the location-aware computing will drive the merger of wireless and wired Internet world, creating a much larger industry than today’s predominantly wired Internet industry.

The mobile Web is growing as more and more people use a smart device to access online services. This rapid growth of mobile Web usage is accompanied by the evolution of the mobile Web browser as a fully fledged software platform. Due to these two trends, the expectations of users in terms of quality of experience (QoE) when browsing the Web on their mobile device has increased drastically. As a result, the number of studies using measurement-based experiments to investigate the factors influencing QoE has grown. However, conducting measurement-based experiments on the mobile Web is not a trivial task as it requires a significant experience and knowledge about both technical and methodological aspects. Unfortunately, there is no systematic study on the state of the art of conducting measurement-based experiments on the mobile Web that could guide researchers and practitioners when planning and performing such experiments. The goal of this work is to build a map of existing studies that conduct measurement-based experiments on the mobile Web. In total 640 potentially relevant studies are identified. After a rigorous selection procedure the set of primary studies consists of 28 papers from which we extracted data and gathered insights. Specifically, we investigate on (i) which metrics are collected, how they are measured, and how they are analysed, (ii) the platforms on which the experiments are run, (iii) what subjects are used, and (iv) the used tools and environments under which the experiments are run. This study benefits researchers and practitioners by presenting common techniques, empirical practices, and tools to properly conduct measurement-based experiments on the mobile Web.
