The Influence of Computer Self-efficacy and Subjective Norms on the Students’ Use of Learning Management Systems at King Abdulaziz University (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Binyamin, S. S., Rutter, M. J., & Smith, S. (2018, March). The Influence of Computer Self-efficacy and Subjective Norms on the Students’ Use of Learning Management Systems at King Abdulaziz University. Presented at 7th International Conference on Educational and Information Technology 2018, Oxford University, UK

Technology acceptance model (TAM) has been a standout amongst the most well-known models in understanding the users’ acceptance of technologies. This study develops a model to predict the factors that influence the use of learning management systems...

Making co-op work: An exploration of student attitudes to co-op programs (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, S., Berg, T., & Smith, C. (2015, October). Making co-op work: An exploration of student attitudes to co-op programs. Presented at 2015 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE)

Engineering and computing at university both have a long tradition of co-operative education which plays a vital role in developing students' applied skills and giving confidence to both students and potential employers. Co-op education refers to rel... Read More about Making co-op work: An exploration of student attitudes to co-op programs.

A Software Engineering Framework for Context-Aware Service-Based Processes in Pervasive Environments (2014)
Book Chapter
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2014). A Software Engineering Framework for Context-Aware Service-Based Processes in Pervasive Environments. In Software Design and Development (71-95). IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-4666-4301-7.ch005

Context-awareness is considered to be the cornerstone technique for developing pervasive computing applications that are flexible, adaptable, and capable of acting autonomously on behalf of the user. However, context-awareness introduces various soft... Read More about A Software Engineering Framework for Context-Aware Service-Based Processes in Pervasive Environments.

CANDEL: Product Line Based Dynamic Context Management for Pervasive Applications (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2010, February). CANDEL: Product Line Based Dynamic Context Management for Pervasive Applications. Presented at 2010 International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems

In a pervasive environment, it is essential for computing applications to be context-aware. However, one of the major challenges is the establishment of a generic and dynamic context model. Many different approaches to modeling the context exist, but... Read More about CANDEL: Product Line Based Dynamic Context Management for Pervasive Applications.
