With the rapid growth of the mobile application market, mobile donation applications have emerged as a new type of application that enables users to donate without actual payments. To date, limited research has been conducted to provide guidelines on how to design new types of mobile donation applications. Using cause-related marketing theory as theoretical framework, this study aims to identify the features of mobile donation applications that increase the intention of users to use such applications. To achieve this goal, we conducted two experiments. The results of an ANOVA test in the first experiment showed that indirect mobile donation applications (i.e., applications without actual payment) have a stronger positive effect on perceived effectiveness and cause involvement than direct mobile donation applications (i.e., applications with actual payment). In addition, perceived effectiveness and cause involvement yield positive effects on the intention to use mobile donation applications. The results of the second experiment showed that indirect mobile donation applications with utilitarian functions have a greater positive effect on perceived effectiveness and cause involvement than mobile donation applications with hedonic functions. These results contribute to mobile application and donation research as well as provide guidelines for practitioners on the design of mobile donation applications.

Mobile Devices, which are developed with the fast growing of the Internet, have flexible internet accessibility and can access the network anywere so that they can execute software applications. However, it is very challenging to deploy highly complex applications on mobile devices since they have limited resources. To overcome the limitation, researches on applying a concept of services to mobile applications have been proposed. Android is one of the popular mobile platforms and is designed to effectively execute mobile applications on the mobile devices having limited resources. Since service-based Android applications, which adopt a concept of services and Android platform, invoke remote services and are built with Android-specific components, they are much different from traditional software applications. Consequently, it is not straightforward to apply object-oriented (OO) analysis and design methods to developing service-based Android applications, although they have been frequently applied to developing traditional applications. In this paper, we present a process to develop service-based Android mobile applications, which extends a traditional OO development process. First, we raise design issues to be considered in developing service-based Android applications. Then, to solve the issues, we present detailed guidelines for essential phases of OO-based development process that are customized to service-based Android applications. Finally, to show applicability of the process, we perform a case study. The proposed design process is effectively utilized as a set of guidelines to develop service-based Android applications more systematically and effectively.

This paper proposes a change management system of sensor network applications based on version synchronization that supports to effectively manage defect correction of applications, change of functions for applications or improvement of applications without suspending the sensor network. The proposed change management system consists of the NADE which is an application development environment, the Node Management Server, and the Node Agent. NADE is an Eclipse-based development environment for developing applications which are installed into nodes. NADE is also connected with CVSNT which is a version management tool and performs application version management using the CVSNT. Node Management Server manages nodes to maintain latest versions of applications by synchronizing versions of applications which are performed on the nodes with the versions of applications which are developed in the NADE. Node Agent which is loaded into the node periodically sends the version information of the application to the server, and stores and updates the version information of the application. Through the proposed change management system, applications of nodes are automatically updated when versions of applications are changed by correcting defects, changing functions or improving applications. Therefore, the user can effectively manage the execution of sensor network system without suspending or delaying the sensor network. Also, visibility of change management for sensor network applications will be improved.

Distributed applications are composed of multiple nodes, which exchange information with individual nodes through message passing. Compared with traditional applications, distributed applications have more complex behavior patterns because a large number of interactions and concurrent behaviors exist among their distributed nodes. Thus, it is difficult to detect anomalous behaviors and determine the location and scope of abnormal nodes, and some attacks and misuse cannot be detected. To address this problem, we introduce a method for detecting anomalous behaviors based on process algebra. We specify the architecture of the behavior detection model and the detection algorithm. The anomalous behavior detection and analysis demonstrate that our method is a good discriminator between normal and anomalous behavior characteristics of distributed applications. Performance evaluation shows that the proposed method enhances efficiency without security degradation.

Most of the known RFID applications are derived from RFID technology and its functionalities not business analysis or requirements, so that companies may not obtain real competitive edges by implementing RFID application systems. Developing successful RFID applications is one of the key elements for prevailing RFID use by industries. Research objective is to propose an effective methodology for developing RFID applications based on analyzing business processes. The approach is designed to figure out both technical and business requirements related to RFID applications based on BPR (Business process reengineering) and ISP (Information strategy planning) methodologies. To verify the effectiveness of our approach, we applied the proposed approach to real field cases. As RFID technologies get flourished, the proposed approach is expected to play a meaningful role as an effective tool for developing new RFID applications.

IoT devices are interconnected in global network with different functionalities and manage the data transfer in cloud computing. IoT devices can be used anytime, anywhere with any device with different applications and protocols. Same devices but different applications according to end user requirements such as sensors and Wi-Fi devices, reusability of these applications can enhance the development process. However, large number of variations in cloud computing make it difficult the features selection in application because of compatibility issues of devices. In this paper we have proposed multi-Software Product Lines (multi-SPLs) approach to manage the variabilities and commonalities of IoT applications and protocols. Feature modeling is used to manage the commonalities and variabilities of SPL. We proposed that multi-SPLs feature model is more appropriate for modeling of IoT applications and protocols.
