A Trustworthy System with Mobile Services Facilitating the Everyday Life of a Museum

Abstract

A museum is an environment where users with different needs interact with each other and museum content. The need of trustworthy digital services facilitating museum management and guidance is a necessity. Nowadays mobile devices are powerful and popular. A digital museum environment should adapt mobile services to be successful. But mobile devices suffer from security vulnerabilities. The proposed system supports trustworthy mobile services based on an extended role-based access control scheme for authorization purposes. This work investigates similar systems and modern smartphone technical capabilities, along with information collected by museum experts through interviews attempting to specify user requirements. An implementation of the proposed system is provided on the context of specific real-life scenarios addressing specific services needed by museum personnel and visitors. An evaluation follows comparing the presented system with other known museum systems having as criteria the services a system should provide to support real life tasks.

A Smartphone Enabled Approach to Manage COVID-19 Lockdown and Economic Crisis

“…In another attempt, authors in [ 15 ] proposed a new de- centralized approach to track the contact-tracing, which is named CAUDHT (Contact tracing Application Using a Distributed Hash Table). The approach is trying to preserve the privacy issue of the users (including public health users and infected users), since the system is exchanging data in a blind signature mechanism [ 16 , 17 ]. Furthermore, the approach uses the distributed hash table method to messaging between the users.…”

Connecting the museum to the city environment from the visitor’s perspective

“…This work extends the proposed system in [4,20] that was targeting at the provision of preservation, management and dissemination functions in a museum in order to facilitate the actions and interactions of the persons that are involved in museum's everyday life. Here, we are interested in the offering of recommendation services to visitors, which can be accessible through their mobile devices as parts of a mobile app, satisfying the need of connecting the museum space to the public space of a city considering the city as an extension of the museum.…”

“…Services For Museums) που διευκολύνει την καθημερινότητα σε ένα μουσείο, αναπτύσσεται στην εργασία [199]. Το σύστημα υποστηρίζει έμπιστες κινητές υπηρεσίες υλοποιώντας ένα σχήμα ελέγχου πρόσβασης που βασίζεται σε ρόλους, για την εξουσιοδοτημένη πρόσβαση στο περιεχόμενο.…”

“…Ανάλογα με το σκοπό και το κοινό στο οποίο απευθύνεται, ένα ψηφιακό πολιτισμικό περιβάλλον είναι σημαντικό να προσφέρει είτε κινητές εφαρμογές με πλούσιες δυνατότητες ή πρόσβαση μέσω του διαδικτύου στις λειτουργικότητές του από την κινητή συσκευή. Η ανάγκη για υποστήριξη υπηρεσιών για κινούμενους χρήστες έχει γίνει αντιληπτή από έναν μεγάλο αριθμό σύγχρονων ψηφιακών πολιτισμικών περιβαλλόντων [194,197,198,199,200].…”
