BYOD is a new business trend where employees are using their own devices for work purposes. This phenomenon has created new challenges in information security. Thus, organizations should adapt information security corporate strategy in order to address this new reality. This paper tries to identify and explore the optimal way to do this rearrangeme...

This work describes the deployment of the mobile pervasive augmented reality system for outdoor sports environments. This prototype relies on heuristics that combine user preference indicators of technology adoption, sensing criteria, and volume of information criteria to provide real-time adaptation of the display without information overload, res...

With the use of technologies, ‘cities’ are able to control everything from traffic lights to the distribution of water in the city, traffic, environment, social actions, health, education, urban planning, security, and public administration, are some of the main areas of activity. The implementation of technology also brings other concerns such as...

After presenting a brief evolution of augmented reality applications from mobile systems (MARS) into mobile pervasive augmented reality systems (MPARS), this work addresses the reasons and aspects required to boost acceptance and use of mobile pervasive augmented reality systems for outdoor applications. The need to develop context-aware close-to-r...

Activity recognition is an increasingly relevant topic in the context of the most varied outdoor end-user services. In outdoor environments, activity recognition based on close-to-real- time information is key in providing awareness to the user about their habits and thus to allow the user to better perform. Such promptness is today provided via mu...

Activity recognition is an increasingly relevant topic in the context of the most varied end-user services. In outdoor environments, activity recognition based on close-to-real-time information is key in providing awareness to the user about their surroundings in a timely and user-friendly manner, thus allowing to the user to improve its overall us...

Augmented Reality (AR) is an increasingly prevalent subject with various areas of application. This work explores the results of a survey especially developed to document the ease of acceptance of possible characteristics to implement in mobile outdoor applications enhanced with AR. This survey has been devised for a better assessment of user prefe...

This chapter explores the benefits and challenges of using augmented reality (AR) technology in outdoor sports environments. Questions emerge about the presentation of information more appropriate to give a user without being excessive. The aim is to assess the problems related with information overload before implementing an AR system to be used i...
