Mobile computing is pervasive in our society; every aspect of our daily lives has been touched by the ubiquitous nature of mobile devices. We have experienced an exponential growth of mobile computing - a trend that seems to have no limit. More than half of the world's population owns a mobile phone, and there are close to seven billion mobile subscribers worldwide. Canada's potential for strengthening its mobile applications and network technology markets lies in its technological innovations, supportive infrastructure and human resources. The proposed research to be carried out will focus on creating innovative mobile apps that draw contextual information from nearby locations via iBeacons (an Internet of Things device) to provide powerful and personalized user experiences (e.g., personalized messages when a patron browses products in a shoe store). Leaders in the mobile computing field from both academia and industry have identified these research topics as areas of tremendous growth where innovative solutions are both needed and likely to have the biggest impact. Furthermore, the proposed research builds on the strong relationship established between SOTI and Sheridan to continue previous successful (NSERC Engage 1) funded research and development endeavours. The benefits of this project to the partner include securing competitive advancement, as well as gaining insight and knowledge on best practices in developing leading-edge mobile apps. The collaborative research team aims to be amongst the first to provide these kinds of rich experiences by exploring wearable devices (e.g., Apple Watch) to provide personalized contextual experiences to SOTI's clients. The benefit to Sheridan is increased student engagement in applied research and real-world challenging problems. The benefits to the research discipline include new knowledge and expertise that will be disseminated and transferred to Canadian companies locally, provincially, and nationally.

移动的计算在我们的社会中无处不在;我们日常生活的每一个方面都被移动计算所触及。 移动的设备的无处不在的特性。我们经历了移动的计算的指数级增长- 这种趋势似乎没有限制。世界上一半以上的人口拥有移动的电话， 全球移动的用户接近70亿。加拿大加强其移动的 应用和网络技术市场在于其技术创新，支持基础设施和 人力资源. 拟开展的研究将侧重于创建创新的移动的应用程序， 通过iBeacon（一种物联网设备）从附近位置获取信息， 个性化的用户体验（例如，当顾客在鞋店浏览产品时的个性化消息）。 来自学术界和工业界的移动的计算领域的领导者已经将这些研究主题确定为 这些领域需要创新的解决方案，而且可能产生最大的影响。 此外，拟议的研究建立在SOTI和谢里丹之间建立的牢固关系的基础上， 继续以往成功的（NSERC Engage 1）资助的研究和开发工作。 此项目对合作伙伴的好处包括确保竞争优势，以及获得 对开发前沿移动的应用程序的最佳实践的洞察力和知识。合作研究 团队的目标是成为首批通过探索可穿戴设备提供此类丰富体验的团队之一 (e.g., Apple Watch）为SOTI的客户提供个性化的情境体验。对谢里丹的好处是 增加学生参与应用研究和现实世界的挑战性问题。受益相 研究学科包括新的知识和专业知识，将传播和转移到加拿大 公司在当地，省和国家。
