Q-Apps: Quality-in-use
assessment framework for mobile apps
The main goal of this project is to design a non-intrusive methodology and
platform for automatically assess the quality-in-use of mobile applications.

Kontatu: Context-Aware
Communication Means Recommendation
“User A” defines
use preferences
over its
communication
means.
Based on that
preferences, its
contacts receive
recommendations
about which means
to use when trying
to communicate
with “User A”.

LaguNFC: Enabling access
to the digital world to the elderly
• NFC tags are used to represent real world objects (A telephone, a contact, a place …)
• Actions are defined as a group of tags (e.g. A phone call to a contact)
• A rule engine is used to derive the right action when users read a group of tags
