The Future

Nowadays, instant messaging applications (apps) are one of the most popular applications for mobile devices with millions of active users. However, mobile devices present hardware and software characteristics and limitations compared with personal computers. Hence, to address the usability issues of mobile apps, a specific methodology must be conducted. This paper shows the findings from a systematic analysis of these applications on iOS mobile platform that was conducted to identify some usability issues in mobile applications for instant messaging. The overall process includes a Keystroke-Level Modeling and a Mobile Heuristic Evaluation. In the same trend, we propose a set of guidelines for improving the usability of these apps. Based on our findings, this analysis will help in the future to create more effective mobile applications for instant messaging.

The establishment of collective relationships is a native characteristic of individuals. Living in a recluse way cannot be considered part of human nature. Individuals have always been organized in communities in which they establish relationships with other individuals, which usually live in one particular area. Proximity among individuals is one of the characteristics that motivate the creation of communities. Communities are also created when individuals have common interests. Some examples are: religious communities, such as Catholic and Jewish ones; and communities that comprise people having the same job, such as scientific and medical communities. In these examples, the distance among individuals is not an obstacle to the creation of communities, since individuals have common interests. In spite of living in different places, members of these communities have periodic meetings in which collective relationships are established. The popularization of the Internet after the 1990s along with the well established use of personal computers have allowed the creation of a new form of community, the well known virtual communities. They have enabled individuals to communicate through e-mail, forums, instant messaging, and videoconference. People living in different countries have interacted and communicated through Internet enabled personal computers. Distance learning and software users groups such as Linux users and Java developers are some examples of relationships that have been improved by virtual communities. Mobile virtual communities are the most recent advance in the establishment of collective relationships, mainly due to the progress in mobile devices and wireless communication technologies. Connectivity among wireless mobile devices enables individuals to exchange information and knowledge, anytime and anywhere. These communities are created in an ad hoc way: individuals with common profiles, carrying connected mobile devices, can constitute a community and access/provide information according to their authorization degree. There are various applications of mobile virtual communities, such as workflow management, mobile learning, healthcare communities, personal assistants in academic conferences, and applications for communication among students on campus, among others. This article introduces the field of mobile virtual communities, describing the main issues that have culminated in the creation of this research area such as the Internet, personal computers, mobile devices and wireless communication technologies. Applications domains of mobile virtual communities and works that support the development of these applications are also presented.

A number of remote laboratories and virtual laboratories have been created which support the mobile devices factor. The focus of a number of researchers at present is on the platforms which supports these online laboratories. This paper presents the solution we developed. The platform we developed is a modification of the iLab Shared Architecture (ISA) which was originally created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was expanded to include SMS services and WebSocket services. The goal was to ensure that it is able to support all mobile phones and tablets. Feature phones can perform experiments via SMS and tablets can use HTML5 based applications while personal computers can use the original ISA services.

Unfortunately, most of the widely used protocols for remote desktop access on mobile devices have been designed for scenarios involving personal computers. Furthermore, their energy consumption at the mobile device has not been fully characterized. In this chapter, we specially address energy consumption of mobile cloud networking realized through remote desktop technologies. In order to produce repeatable experiments with comparable results, we design a methodology to automate experiments with a mobile device. Furthermore, we develop an application that allows recording touch events and replaying them for a certain number of times. Moreover, we analyze the performance of widely used remote desktop protocols through extensive experiments involving different classes of mobile devices and realistic usage scenarios. We also relate the energy consumption to the different components involved and to the protocol features. Finally, we provide some considerations on aspects related to usability and user experience.
