Insights into layout patterns of mobile user interfaces by an automatic analysis of android apps

A process to gain insights into mobile user interfaces on a large scale is presented and it is argued that the combinations identified not only provide insights about current mobile interfaces, but also enable the development of new optimized widgets.

Mechanisms for Understanding Participation in Online File Sharing

A social mechanism is proposed that concentrates on the actions of individuals leading up to and including their participation in a group file sharing activity, and a higher level mechanism is presented which links individual participation with exogenous forces.
