Statistics for electronic resources
… in libraries during the 1990's the topic of usage statistics has been on librarians' lips. The expectations that librarians had of being able to compare resources based on usage statistics were soon dashed as it became apparent that electronic resource providers were not measuring usage …

Enabling Usage Pattern-based Logical Status Inference for Mobile Phones
… studied for logical status inference, continuous usage typically requires formidable energy consumption, which degrades the user experience. In this thesis, we argue that smartphone usage statistics can be used for logical status inference with negligible energy cost. To validate this argument, we …

Discovering the hidden users of Scratch
Usage statistics ("telemetry data") have become an essential tool for understanding how complex systems are used and how to improve them. However, many of these systems are deployed in areas with limited internet connectivity which hampers the ability to collect telemetry data. In this thesis, we …

Behaviour based anomaly detection system for smartphones using machine learning algorithm
… system is that every smartphone user has unique usage patterns. By modelling these patterns into a profile we can uniquely identify users. To evaluate this hypothesis, we conducted an experiment in which a data collection application was developed to accumulate real-life dataset consisting of …

Security threats to Android apps
… channel of information leaks from per-app data usage statistics and demonstrate that a malicious app can infer users' identity or investment information with zero-permission by monitoring the channel. To mitigate these threats, we propose defense strategies for both widespread threats on mHealth …
