This paper presents an experimental study on mobile Web and mobile applications tracking. The study on Mobile Web tracking has been conducted on datasets collected by TrackScoreMobile, a Firefox add-on that has been developed and distributed to a set of Tunisian students and researchers. Results identify the factors that increase the privacy risk. The study on mobile applications tracking focuses on the permissions required by android applications. The findings point out on the mostly required permissions and the mostly tracked application categories. The originality of this work is summarized as follows: 1) identification and measurement of the parameters to quantify Web tracking, 2) identification of risky association between mobile applications permissions and associations between permissions and tracking components. The goal of this paper is to better understand how trackers rely on tracking components and on permissions for the purpose of tracking mobile users.

This chapter explores how a mobile tracking technology is able to further streamline the integrated supply chain. Previous technologies which have attempted to integrate suppliers, manufactures, distributors and retailers have lacked the flexibility and efficiency necessary to justify the prohibiting costs. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology however enables various organizations along the supply chain to share information regarding specific products and easily remotely manage internal inventory levels. These applications are only a sample of what RFID is able to accomplish for the integrated supply chain, and this chapter seeks to explore those applications.

Space Of Flows

This study investigates the realistic conditions of ‘digital Korea’, especially as they are exemplified by the Samsung SDI scandal in South Korea. Samsung SDI, the world's largest plasma TV maker and a subsidiary of the Samsung Group, has fallen under suspicion due to using illegally cloned mobile phones to track the location data of some activist workers who tried to organise a union. The study stresses that this example of mobile tracking represents the shady side of mobile phone use created by management's excessive desire for labour control, and confirms that mobile tracking techniques make possible the spatial expansion of the scope of power. The spatial vocabulary of power is not totalitarian, but dispersed and nomadic in action, and resides in the space of ‘flows’ constructed by electronic impulses. This study discloses that, for private corporations, mobile tracking facilitates a form of efficient, invisible labour control over ‘targeted’ workers, even outside the workplace. It concludes that the control of labourers in Korea has been reinforced by the confluence of business interests, the under-developed political system and a societal lack of interest in privacy.
