“…Mobile applications should consider the optimization of some features such as energy (Foll, 2012), when, for example, users take benefit from multiuser applications, such as games, while running some services in the background for acquisition of context information, communication (connection, upload, download ) etc. (Leikas, 2006).…”

This paper describes the state of the art of a simplified model for integration of services in mega events. The project context, which was financed by the National Research Council -CNPq, is divided into six major areas or functional groups: Urban Mobility, Tourism, Airports, Security, Energy and Telecommunications. The proposal is described in layers, as an infrastructure model of integration and services evaluation, describing its main layers and interaction processes. The proposal described in this paper is restricted to the telecommunication subproject; however, in the modeling of the scenario for the study case, it was necessary to consider requirements and variables that are common to all subprojects. In the specification process of these requirements, we noticed important processes that interact with some sectors in the city of São Paulo; however, in the mean time, we noticed some failures regarding the integration and collaboration performed by administrative elements of stadiums as a main focus in the 346 Garay, J.R.B., Calixto, G.M., De Oliveira, A.M, Zuffo, M.K.

Currently, the proposal is in its first version as open software for the evaluation of the services quality and the mega event infrastructure through the use of performance indicators.

Abstract-With the growing popularity of social networking, traditional Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Telecom operators have both started exploring new opportunities to boost their revenue streams. The efforts have facilitated consumers to stay connected to their favorite social networks, be it from an ISP portal or a mobile device. The use of Web 2.0 technologies and converged communication tools has further led to a rise in both user-generated content as well as contextual information (i.e. rich presence) about users -including their current location, availability, interests and moods. In this evolving landscape, social networking players need to innovate for value-centric usage models that increase customer stickiness, along with business models to monetize the social media. To this end, we present R-U-In? -an activityoriented social networking system for users to collaborate and participate in activities of mutual interest. Activities can be initiated and scheduled on-demand and be as ephemeral as the user interests themselves. R-U-In? leverages contextual modeling and reasoning techniques to enable "social search" based on real-time user interests and finds potential matches for the proposed activity. Further, it exploits next-generation presence and communication technologies to manage the entire activity lifecycle in real-time. Initial survey results, based on a prototype implementation of R-U-In?, attest to the promise of real-time activity-oriented social networking -both in terms of an effective collaboration tool for value-oriented social networking users and an enhanced end-user experience.

“…Using a large screen offers a number of benefits: it frees the games developer from constraints of the limited graphics capabil- ities of the mobile screen [10], enables a greater amount of movement to the participating players, provides a rich social atmosphere [6] and affords an opportunity for rich social interaction [11] in a variety of urban landscapes. However, we do acknowledge the practical deployment of such displays is often fraught with difficulty [12].…”

“…Furthermore, as ubiquitous consumer devices they are ideal for interacting with urban computing environments and in particular large public displays [6]. Further, with the ever expanding feature set on handsets, mobile game developers can increasingly turn to innovative forms of user input such as RFID/NFC, cameras, microphone, and so forth [7].…”

Using a Mobile Phone as a “Wii‐like” Controller for Playing Games on a Large Public Display

Undoubtedly the biggest success amongst the recent games console releases has been the launch of the Nintendo Wii. This is arguably due to its most innovative attribute-the wireless controller or "Wiimote." The Wiimote can be used as a versatile game controller, able to detect motion and rotation in three dimensions which allows for very innovative game play. Prior to the Wii, and with much less furor, Nokia launched its 5500 model phone which contains 3D motion sensors. Using the Sensor API library available for the Symbian OS, this sensor data can be used by developers to create interesting new control schemes for mobile games. Whilst 3D motion can be utilized for ondevice games, in this paper we present a novel system that connects these phones to large public game screens via Bluetooth where it becomes a game controller for a multiplayer game. We illustrate the potential of this system through a multiplayer driving game using the Microsoft XNA framework and present preliminary feedback on the user experience from a public trial which highlights that these controls can be both intuitive and fun.
