Users’ Part Sample Clauses

Users’ Part. In the MobileMAN, people come together, and create the network, for some collaborative activity. The human interactions associated with the activity are key aspects in order to establish services and infrastructures [18]. The technical work relies on this concept. The reaction of the users to this new philosophy, which impacts the application level as well, is an important measurement tool for tuning and modifying the ad hoc networking paradigm. At the same time, this activity is essential for discovering the ad hoc networking potentiality in terms of users needs and requirements, as well as social and economic input. For that reason, the integration of the technical components and the evaluation of the MobileMAN paradigms in terms of users’ satisfactions are strongly correlated. In fact, the MobileMAN technology aim to be a suitable and effective technology to construct the citizens’ network: communicating people sharing common interests or problems, which self-organise their own network by simply co-operating. In particular, MobileMAN can be seen as the technology that compensate for the fact that traditional communication technologies do not take in account the difficulties of some groups of persons to access the communication facilities. For example, for youth, it is difficult to communicate as they would and could do, because of the communication costs. Similarly, for people with special needs that are often alone, a free communication systems that provide them a continuous connection with the society is fundamental for maintaining an acceptable level of social life, and thus providing an increase in their quality of life. For example, it can be used for sharing information, or for communicating with people with similar problems and interests, or even for spending their time by playing games. Therefore, once the full system is integrated, it is necessary to validate it in this perspective. The validation will include two steps: identification of the applications to test, and validation of the self-organising paradigm with users.
