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.

移动计算在我们的社会中普遍存在；移动设备的无处不在的性质使我们日常生活的各个方面都感动了。我们已经经历了移动计算的指数增长 - 似乎没有限制的**趋势。全球超过一半的人口拥有手机，全球范围内有近70亿移动订户。加拿大加强其移动**应用和网络技术市场的潜力在于其技术创新，支持基础设施和**人力资源。通过IBEACONS（一种物联网设备）附近的位置提供功能强大且**个性化的用户体验（例如，当顾客在鞋店中浏览产品时，个性化消息）。确定这些研究主题是**巨大增长的领域，在这些领域中，创新解决方案既需要又可能产生最大的影响。参与1）资助的研发努力。合作研究**团队的目标是通过探索可穿戴设备**（例如，Apple Watch）来为SOTI客户提供个性化的上下文体验，以最早提供这些丰富的体验。 Sheridan的好处是**增加了学生在应用研究和现实世界中具有挑战性的问题方面的参与度。 **研究学科的好处包括新知识和专业知识，这些知识和专业知识将在本地，省份和全国范围内传播并转移到加拿大**公司。
