Readiness Measurement Model (RMM): Mathematical-Based Evaluation Technique for the Quantification of Knowledge Acquisition, Individual Understanding, and Interface Acceptance Dimensions of Software Applications on Handheld Devices

摘要

This paper presents a mathematical-based evaluation technique as a new method in assessing the readiness of handheld application usage. This research considers specifically the quantification of readiness parameters useful to express and estimate the overall readiness of handheld application usage. As a result, a new and simple mathematical-based evaluation model for assessing the readiness of handheld application usage, namely Readiness Measurement Model (RMM), was established. The proposed model integrates three dimensions for evaluating handheld application usage readiness including knowledge acquisition, individual understanding, and interface acceptance.
