- Abstract: User reviews published in mobile app repositories are essential for understanding user satisfaction and engagement within a specific market segment. Manual analysis of reviews is impractical due to the large data volume, and automated analysis faces challenges like data synthesis and reporting. This complicates the task for app providers in identifying patterns and significant events, especially in assessing the influence of competitor apps. Furthermore, review-based research is mostly limited to a single app or a single app provider, excluding potential competition analysis. Consequently, there is an open research challenge in leveraging user reviews to support cross-app analysis within a specific market segment. Following a case-study research method in the microblogging app market, we introduce an automatic, novel approach to support mobile app market analysis. Our approach leverages quantitative metrics and event detection techniques based on newly published user reviews. Significant events are proactively identified and summarized by comparing metric deviations with historical baseline indicators within the lifecycle of a mobile app. Results from our case study show empirical evidence of the detection of relevant events within the selected market segment, including software- or release-based events, contextual events and the emergence of new competitors.

Pairwise Matching function-point between Users Feedback and App Updating Log [3.750389260169302]
This paper proposes a quantitative analysis approach based on the temporal correlation perception that exists in the app update log and user reviews.
The main idea of this scheme is to consider valid user reviews as user requirements and app update logs as developer responses.
It was found that 16.6%-43.2% of the feature of these apps would be related to the drive from the online popular user requirements.

with a Benchmark Dataset [6.592595861973966]
Contact tracing has been globally adopted in the fight to control the infection rate of COVID-19. Thanks to digital technologies, such as smartphones and wearable devices, contacts of COVID-19 patients can be easily traced and informed about their potential exposure to the virus.
Several interesting mobile applications have been developed. However, there are ever-growing concerns over the working mechanism and performance of these applications.
In this work, we propose a pipeline starting from manual annotation via a crowd-sourcing study and concluding on the development and training of AI models for automatic sentiment analysis of users' reviews.

We supply, to the best of our knowledge, the first open source simulation platform, Open SOUrce Market Simulator (OSOUM) to analyze trading markets and specifically data markets.
We describe and implement a specific data market model, consisting of two types of agents: sellers who own various datasets available for acquisition, and buyers searching for relevant and beneficial datasets for purchase.
Although commercial frameworks, intended for handling data markets, already exist, we provide a free and extensive end-to-end research tool for simulating possible behavior for both buyers and sellers participating in (data) markets.
