Abstract—The growth of mobile features, especiallySmartphones at this time can be said to be very developed.Judging from the increasing number of mobile users, theavailability of various mobile features is also growing veryrapidly. In line with these facts, the author aims to create amobile boarding application using Location-Based Service(LBS) technology with the application of the Haversinemethod, making it easier for users to find the closest Dormitory to their place of work with appropriate facilities. Thisapplication is not only to search for Dormitory, it canalso place orders online, this is also an opportunity for themanager or owner of the boarding house to promote their Dormitory. Methods of data collection are done by observation, interviews, literature studies, and documentation. The development of this application system uses the Waterfall method. The final result of this research will create an android-based boarding mobile application that can make it easier for boarding house seekers to search and book boarding houses as well as a means of promotion for boarding house owners and managers.

Insurgency has bedeviled our national economy and human peaceful existence in Nigeria. Boko Haram insurgency can be rated as the most deadly terrorist in the history of Nigeria. Federal government of Nigeria has employed series of strategies and has invested many resources to curb this insurgency to no avail. The inability of the armed forces to curb the insurgency may be attributed to lack intelligent reporting system that will enhance their performances. This paper therefore focuses on providing an effective way of producing intelligent report. This is achieved by designing an internet based mobile application that runon Android platform which makes it easier to report cases of insurgency in Nigeria through chat room with the option of uploading concrete evidence such as images or video. Various methods such as observation, interview and different kind of literatures were used for data collection. A mobile system for reporting any cases of insurgency is the result of the research.Keywords: Boko Haram, Insurgency, Intelligent, Reporting system and Mobile ApplicationVol. 26, No. 1, June 2019

<p>Data contributed by citizen scientists raise increasing interest in many areas of scientific research. Increasingly, projects rely on information technology such as mobile applications (apps) to facilitate data collection activities by lay people. When developing such smartphone apps, it is essential to account for both the requirements of the scientists interested in acquiring data and the needs of the citizen scientists contributing data. Citizens and participating scientists should therefore ideally work together during the conception, design and testing of mobile applications used in a citizen science project. This will benefit both sides, as both scientists and citizens can bring in their expectations, desires, knowledge, and commitment early on, thereby making better use of the potential of citizen science. Such processes of app co-design are highly transdisciplinary, and thus pose challenges in terms of the diversity of interests, skills, and background knowledge involved.</p><p>Our “Nachtlicht-BüHNE” citizen science project addresses these issues. Its major goal is the development of a co-design process enabling scientists and citizens to jointly develop citizen science projects based on smartphone apps. This includes (1) the conception and development of a mobile application for a specific scientific purpose, (2) the design, planning and organization of field campaigns using the mobile application, and (3) the evaluation of the approach. In Nachtlicht-BüHNE, the co-design approach is developed within the scope of two parallel pilot studies in the environmental and space sciences. Case study 1 deals with the problem of light pollution. Currently, little is known about how much different light source types contribute to emissions from Earth. Within the project, citizens and researchers will develop and use an app to capture information about all types of light sources visible from public streets. Case study 2 focuses on meteors. They are of great scientific interest because their pathways and traces of light can be used to derive dynamic and physical properties of comets and asteroids. Since the surveillance of the sky with cameras is usually incomplete, reports of fireball sightings are important. Within the project, citizens and scientists will create and use the first German-language app that allows reporting meteor sightings.</p><p>We will share our experiences on how researchers and communities of citizen scientists with backgrounds in the geosciences, space research, the social sciences, computer science and other disciplines work together in the Nachtlicht-BüHNE project to co-design mobile applications. We highlight challenges that arose and present different strategies for co-design that evolved within the project accounting for the specific needs and interests of the communities involved.</p>

AbstractIndonesia is currently focus in increasing the number of foreign tourists visiting the destination with leisure and business (MICE) purpose. Various ways have been done by Ministry of Tourism, one of them is made applications for mobile users. Applications that have been launched by Ministry of Tourism are 'Pesona Indonesia eBrochure', 'Wonderful Indonesia', and '100 You Must See in Indonesia' which all of that promote Indonesia's famous destination. The applications are quite effective in describing the wonderful things of Indonesian destinations, but has not been able to provide information related to the MICE industry. In this journal will be discussed about the important role of applications on the smartphone as a promotional tool, comparing the three types of applications that have been launched by the Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia, feature plan in 'MICE Indonesia' applications as a result of the development of the previous three applications. The aims of this journal are to describe the important role of mobile application as a promotional tool in the digital era, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of features in the application launched by the Ministry of Tourism, and to make feature design on 'MICE Indonesia' application as MICE promotion tool to the world. This research method is use case study by making comparison with previous product (applications). The results of this study is 'MICE Indonesia' application is an effective tool in presenting information related to MICE and able to encourage business actors to conduct their MICE activities in Indonesia.Keyword: application, MICE, promotion, smartphone, kontribusi dan peran pentingAbstrakIndonesia saat ini sedang berkonsentrasi penuh dalam meningkatkan angka kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara dengan tujuan leisure maupun bisnis (MICE). Berbagai cara dilakukan Kementerian Pariwisata salah satunya melakukan promosi destinasi melalui aplikasi di smartphone. Aplikasi yang telah diluncurkan Kementerian Pariwisata adalah ‘Pesona Indonesia eBrochure’, ‘Wonderful Indonesia’, dan ‘100 You Must See in Indonesia’ yang ketiganya mempromosikan destinasi andalan Indonesia.

Abstract The multi-access edge computing (MEC) has higher computing power and lower latency than user equipment and remote cloud computing, enabling the continuing emergence of new types of services and mobile application. However, the movement of users could induce service migration or interruption in the MEC network. Especially for highly mobile users, they accelerate the frequency of services’ migration and handover, impacting on the stability of the total MEC network. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical multi-access edge computing architecture, setting up the infrastructure for dynamic service migration in the ultra-dense MEC networks. Moreover, we propose a new mechanism for users with high mobility in the ultra-dense MEC network, efficiently arranging service migrations for users with high-mobility and ordinary users together. Then, we propose an algorithm for evaluating migrated services to contribute to choose the suitable MEC servers for migrated services. The results show that the proposed mechanism can efficiently arrange service migrations and more quickly restore the services even in the blockage. On the other hand, the proposed algorithm is able to make a supplement to the existing algorithms for selecting MEC servers because it can better reflect the capability of migrated services.
