Mobile and Social: Ten Best Practices for Designing Mobile Applications
This paper gives ten best practices for designing mobile applications that have social-networking functions. The need for such an approach is given by the rapid growth in impor-tance of both social networks and mobile applications. In order to make it easy to follow where the best practices come from, the paper starts with a look at why social networks are more than just a buzz word and at how the field of mobile applications is evolving. It also shows how and why the two fields go together so well. To further make the point, there is a case study of four interesting mobile applications that are textbooks examples of successful applications. The best practices are based on research done for this article and on the extensive knowledge of the author.Mobile Applications, Social Networks, Best Practices, Application Design
Impact factors for mobile internet applications in the agri-food sectors
Mobile communication and the mobile Internet can provide important opportunities,
economic advantages for enterprises end organisations and support their more efficient operating as they can
be used anytime and anywhere. We can make their wide spread use, innovative effects and advantages
economical if we consider the effect system of technologies and services. The technological, social and
economical complex effect system puts a pressure on the spreading of business applications. The types of
applicable equipment are increasing. According to social aspects there are four player groups:
manufacturers, enterprises, customers and workers. The Internet technology and the Internet network have
become essential communication tools in business processes recently. Using the Internet by means of
mobile appliances increases the possibilities. By studying the business process the expenses, advantages,
disadvantages can well be seen. Nowadays these applications are more and more successful in areas such as
agriculture, different parts of the food industry, extension services, precision agriculture and logistics. It can
be stated that the international and the Hungarian development tendencies of the mobile Internet, the RTD
Programmes of EU help the wide-spread use of mobile services. The rapid development of the Hungarian
domestic mobile market over the last years is the basis for the wide spread use of new broadband mobile
services and applications. This system can contribute to the development of agriculture, enterprises and rural
areas and can support production, commerce, services and product tracing. But for successful applications
we have to consider the impact factors
Secure Identification in Social Wireless Networks
The applications based on social networking have brought revolution towards social life and are continuously gaining popularity among the Internet users. Due to the advanced computational resources offered by the innovative hardware and nominal subscriber charges of network operators, most of the online social networks are transforming into the mobile domain by offering exciting applications and games exclusively designed for users on the go. Moreover, the mobile devices are considered more personal as compared to their desktop rivals, so there is a tendency among the mobile users to store sensitive data like contacts, passwords, bank account details, updated calendar entries with key dates and personal notes on their devices.
The Project Social Wireless Network Secure Identification (SWIN) is carried out at Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) to explore the practicality of providing the secure mobile social networking portal with advanced security features to tackle potential security threats by extending the existing methods with more innovative security technologies. In addition to the extensive background study and the determination of marketable use-cases with their corresponding security requirements, this thesis proposes a secure identification design to satisfy the security dimensions for both online and offline peers. We have implemented an initial prototype using PHP Socket and OpenSSL library to simulate the secure identification procedure based on the proposed design. The design is in compliance with 3GPP‟s Generic Authentication Architecture (GAA) and our implementation has demonstrated the flexibility of the solution to be applied independently for the applications requiring secure identification. Finally, the thesis provides strong foundation for the advanced implementation on mobile platform in future
Evolutionary Centrality and Maximal Cliques in Mobile Social Networks
This paper introduces an evolutionary approach to enhance the process of
finding central nodes in mobile networks. This can provide essential
information and important applications in mobile and social networks. This
evolutionary approach considers the dynamics of the network and takes into
consideration the central nodes from previous time slots. We also study the
applicability of maximal cliques algorithms in mobile social networks and how
it can be used to find the central nodes based on the discovered maximal
cliques. The experimental results are promising and show a significant
enhancement in finding the central nodes
Mobile Internet Applications, Infrastructure and Services
Mobile communication and the mobile Internet can provide important opportunities,
economic advantages for enterprises end organisations and support their more efficient
operating as they can be used anytime and anywhere. We can make their wide spread
use, innovative effects and advantages economical if we consider the effect system of
technologies and services. The technological, social and economical complex effect
system puts a pressure on the spreading of business applications. The types of

Impacts for m-Internet applications and perspectives in agriculture
Mobile communication and the mobile Internet can provide important opportunities,
economic advantages for enterprises end organisations and support their more efficient
operating as they can use it anytime and anywhere.
We can make their wide spread usage, innovation effect and advantages economical way if
we consider the effect system of technologies and services. The technological, social and
economical complex effect system puts pressure on spreading of business applications. The
types of applicable equipment are increasing.
There can be found four player groups according to social aspects: manufacturers, enterprises,
customers and workers. The Internet technology and the Internet network have become
essential communication tools in business processes recently. Using the Internet by means of
mobile appliances increases the possibilities.
If we study the business process the expenses, advantages, disadvantages can be seen well.
Nowadays these applications are more and more successful in the following areas such as in
agriculture, in different parts of food industry, in extension services, precision agriculture,
logistics
