Emerging development trends in smartphone computing assist the user to enhance skills, health improvement, earning opportunities, sharing ideas, providing entertainment, and so on. Appropriate transfer of these assistances demands a vibrant appearance to a smartphone user. End users emphasize easy-to-use, ergonomics, efficiency, and visual aesthetic, among others. Measuring usability issues allows for improving these features. An inspection-based heuristics set identifies the usability issues for improving the quality of smartphone interfaces. Using suitable heuristics is highly relevant. In this paper, we present an extended and relevant set of 14 Usability Heuristics for Smartphone (EUHSA) application, where 13 heuristics were selected after cross-linking the identified usability flaws with the previously proposed heuristics through a user study with 800 students from a human-computer interaction course. An additional heuristic is proposed against uncaptured usability flaws. Furthermore, the EUHSA was validated using an expert evaluation study. Findings were compared with the previously proposed Joyce and SMASH sets of heuristics. The results explicitly justify the EUHSA and prove its effectiveness in evaluating the usability issues.INDEX TERMS Human-computer interaction, usability experts, smartphone applications, heuristic evaluation, user interfaces.

A core functionality of context-aware mobile applications is storing, indexing, and retrieving information about users, places, events and other resources. The goal of this work is to design and provide a service-oriented middleware, called Geocon, which can be used by mobile developers to implement such functionality. To represent information about users, places, events and resources of context-aware applications, Geocon defines a metadata model that can be extended to match specific application requirements. The middleware includes a geocon-service for storing, searching and selecting metadata about users, resources, events and places of interest, and a geocon-client library that allows mobile applications to interact with the service through the invocation of local methods. The paper describes the Geocon middleware and presents an experimental evaluation of its scalability on a cloud platform with a real-world mobile application.

The process of service discovery is the most important task in web services. But this service discovery process may degrade network performance due to the mobile environment. To overcome these issues, a new approach called 'semantic mobile web services (SMWS)' is proposed. This proposed semantic mobile web services is used for a better discovery process even in the high mobile environment. By using the query request (QRY REQ), response (RSP) packets, user can identify the location of the mobile node as well as discover the web services with the minimum utilisation of bandwidth resources. During the service discovery process, a service registrar is included between service requester and service provider to reduce overhead. The process of matchmaking produces the exact match responses for the respective requestor queries. This helps to increase the quality of performance and network efficiency. Simulation has analysed the performance of the proposed semantic mobile web services.
