To that end, an extensive online study with N=1493 was carried out. To address difficulties associated with the use of devices with smaller displays, different layout variants aimed at optimizing questionnaire usability for smartphones were developed and analyzed. Completion time, drop-out rate, and response patterns were compared across different display sizes and layout variants. Results show significantly lower completion times and drop-out rates when the questionnaire was answered on a larger display. Also, different answering patterns emerged among participants using mobile devices. Likewise, the study revealed effects of different questionnaire layouts. The authors discuss implications for the design of online questionnaire in order to obtain reliable data from online surveys.10.4018/IJEUCD.2019070101International Journal of End-User Computing and Development (IJEUCD), Volume: 8, Issue: 2 (2019) Pages: 1-17Nissen, HelgeJanneck, MoniqueHuman Aspects of TechnologySocial Sciences & HumanitiesEnd-User Computing2019-07-01T04:00:00Z821172019-07-01T04:00:00ZInculcating Trust in Hybrid Routing Approach for Securing MANEThttps://www.igi-global.com/article/inculcating-trust-in-hybrid-routing-approach-for-securing-manet/260816The rudimentary notion of using MANET is that the exchange of information in between the portable nodes count on the swift arrangement of a momentary network. Also, each node in a MANET can travel spontaneously in any direction and can change its links to the other nodes repeatedly. In hybrid protocols, initially, the routing is established with the help of some proactively prospected routes and later on serves the request with the help of reactive flooding. In MANET, the security and the routing are the two most crucial and challenging aspects that open up a vast area for improvement. Security includes a set of considerations that are adequately funded. Designing a competent routing protocol for wireless ad-hoc network along with the fulfilment of security aspects is a challenging task. MANET demands for a new set of networking strategies to be adopted in order to provide competent and secure overhead free end-to-end communication. In MANET, hybrid routing protocols are considered to be the most effective types of protocols as they take the advantage of both proactive and reactive routing protocols. After performing an intense literature survey, it could be concluded that there is a specific requirement of a protocol hybrid in nature that could include the two most specific factors for MANET (i.e., routing and security). The existing hybrid routing protocols suffers from the problems like optimisation control, images detection, and image quantization. To solve the above-mentioned issues of hybrid routing protocols, various optimization algorithms have been proposed that are natural genetics-inspired. The various techniques that can be used to enhance the security are cryptography, bio-metric, trust-based approach, Hash function algorithm, etc.10.4018/IJEUCD.2019070102International Journal of End-User Computing and Development (IJEUCD), Volume: 8, Issue: 2 (2019) Pages: 18-28Zafar, SherinSharma, NehaHuman Aspects of TechnologySocial Sciences & HumanitiesEnd-User Computing2019-07-01T04:00:00Z8218282019-07-01T04:00:00ZHow Game Designers Can Account for Those With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) When Designing Game Experienceshttps://www.igi-global.com/article/how-game-designers-can-account-for-those-with-autism-spectrum-disorder-asd-when-designing-game-experiences/260817Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disability among gamers where individuals belonging to this group of conditions have difficulty understanding non-verbal cues. Though game accessibility is a focal point in the games industry, there has been a keen focus placed on developing accessibility. Consequently, this study examines the perspective of video games from individuals who have autism to gain further insight into the needs of these individuals. The preliminary study is to discover if autistic users' difficulty reading non-verbal cues extends to their perception of a game environment and if these individuals can experience sensory distress while playing video games. A prototype was created to further understand the non-verbal cues to help shape the foundation of accessibility framework. The preliminary results concluded that autistic users frequently misread or fail to pick up on the non-verbal cues used by developers to drive game flow and narrative (e.g., sign-posting), in addition to experiencing sensory distress while playing video games.10.4018/IJEUCD.20190701.oa1International Journal of End-User Computing and Development (IJEUCD), Volume: 8, Issue: 2 (2019) Pages: 29-55Costello, RobertDonovan, JodieHuman Aspects of TechnologySocial Sciences & HumanitiesEnd-User Computing2019-07-01T04:00:00Z8229552019-07-01T04:00:00Z
