Trends in Mobile Computing within the IS Discipline: A Ten-Year Retrospective

We analyze mobile computing trends in research and practice between the years 2000–2009 with an inductive categorization of 806 articles in nineteen leading academic, crossover, and practitioner outlets. We integrate this categorization with previous research in mobile commerce and e-business in order to provide the most comprehensive categorization to date. Using this categorization, we next investigate trends in the discussion and research on mobile computing. From these trends, we develop a comprehensive framework that addresses both where mobile computing research has been over the past ten years, but also areas of opportunity for future research. Results indicate research is required in the areas of: (a) IT value stream proposition (both within and outside the firm), (b) human-computer interaction (designing usable mobile computing systems), (c) legal/ethical issues surrounding mobile computing-enabled activities, and (d) organizational/societal impact and change precipitated by mobile computing technologies

Une approche pour un chargement contextuel de services dans les environnements pervasifs

National audienceL'installation des applications sur des terminaux mobiles pose le problème de la non adéquation des ressources proposées avec celles requises par les applications. Dans cet article, nous présentons AxSeL (A conteXtual Service Loader) une architecture de chargement contextuel de services. AxSeL considère des applications composées de services chargés à partir de dépôts distants. Les services et leurs dépendances sont représentés sous la forme d'un graphe bidimensionnel, que nous colorions selon les contraintes des dispositifs cibles. La coloration a pour but de choisir les services à charger selon le contexte matériel du dispositif
