Abstract

This paper discusses an empirical study on extracting requirements for ubiquitous computing technology-based information system (ubi-IS) using factor analysis. After preliminary review of related literature, features specific to ubiquitous computing technology have been retrieved, selected in terms of main elements of information system (IS) (network, device, user interface, and operating system), and further used as variables during conducting factor analysis. Quantitative data was collected through questionnaire approach. The results of factor analysis manifested 5 factors containing 15 variables, and eventually, based upon the extracted factors the requirements for ubi-IS were identified.
