Smart devices have become a basic necessity in this technically advanced era. Many smart device applications, when installed, collect personal data and track users' online behavior for marketing or other purposes. This study aims to explore whether users are aware of related privacy issues and whether their knowledge influences the usage of their apps. Cognate-based views of privacy indicate that privacy concern is dynamic and varies depending on an individual's characteristics and the context. Adopting this view creates the attempt to understand the effect of privacy awareness on user's behavior, considering the moderating effects of individual characteristics and application categories. The study was conducted by surveying smart devices' users and analyzing their responses to the privacy awareness treatment across eight groups of applications. Results indicate that privacy awareness impacts smart device user preferences for app usage. This influence varies depending on individual user characteristics and different application categories.

With the advent of science and technology, smart devices have become ubiquitous; since the display unit is a vital component in many smart devices, the Thin-Film Transistor Liquid-Crystal Displays (TFT-LCD) industry has been one of the most rapidly growing industries. Taiwanese manufacturers play a critical role in this industry. This study investigates key factors for supplier selection in Taiwan’s TFT-LCD industry. TFT-LCD is a technology-intensive industry. However, few studies in the past considered the technological abilities dimension in supplier selection. Therefore, this study discusses the factors related to the technological abilities dimension in supplier selection. Most research considered supplier selection based on the traditional criteria such as cost and quality. This study discusses the importance of the resilience criteria such as agility and flexibility. A method combining DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) and ANP (Analytic Network Process) is applied to analyze key factors for supplier selection in Taiwan’s TFT-LCD industry. The analytical results indicate that the technological abilities dimension and resilience criteria are at the forefront of the ranking in prominence. The influential weights of criteria and the causal diagram among all criteria derived from this study can offer guidance for suppliers on improving various factors to become desirable partners in the TFT-LCD industry supply chain.

The aged population of the world is increasing by a large factor due to the availability of medical and other facilities. As the number grows rapidly, requirements of this segment of age (65+) are increasing rapidly as well as the percentage of aged persons living alone is also increasing with the same rate due to the inevitable socio-economic changes. This situation demands the solution of many problems like loneliness, chronic conditions, social interaction, transportation, day-to-day life and many more for independent living person. A large part of aged population may not be able to interact directly with new technologies. This sought some serious development towards the use of intelligent systems i.e. smart devices which helps the people with their inability to use the available as well future solutions. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is the answer to these problems. In this paper, issues related to AAL systems are studied. Study of challenges and limitations of this comparatively new field will help the designers to remove the barriers of AAL systems.
