“…De Jong and Vermeulen (2003), for example, find that balancing between formalization and unstructured ad-hoc processes are key to maintain creativity and innovation. Heikkinen and Still (2008) point to the importance of having joint goals in making mobile service development in networked organizations work. Syson and Perks (2004) suggest that the innovative capacity of service firms benefits from going beyond simple acquisition of resources from external sources by moving towards long-term relationships, that is, forming trust-based relationships.…”

“…This technology offers a new way in retrieving information and communication that enhance the efficiency of business process (Canfora et al, 2006). Mobile application is normally included in a larger system (Heikkinen and Still, 2008). The application is distributed and commonly involves various components from multiple platforms.…”

Problem statement:The emerging technology in broadband telecommunication and mobile devices has increased the use of mobile applications. However, the use of mobile application is affected with low bandwidth or disrupted broadband telecommunication due to building blockage or out of coverage area. Approach: We proposed a Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Application Model (DTMA) that enables remote data access and overcomes constraint due to dysfunctional telecommunication. The interview process of Educational Service Officer at the Malaysian Educational Service Commissioner (MESC) is selected as the case study. Design of the mobile application is based on the Smart Client and wireless Internet application concepts. The main components of the model are mobile devices with its own processing power, data storage, business logic and Web service. These features enable the application to become disruption-tolerant, which can be run even when communication line is not available or disrupted. In order to prove that the proposed model is effective, a prototype based on the DTMA model is developed and evaluated. Results: The prototype is known as Mobile Interview Information System (MIIS) and it was developed using Visual Basic and .Net's programming language in .NET Framework. Visual Studio is used as the platform. Users have performed MIIS testing and DTMA usability assessment in a real environment. The test showed that MIIS based on the DTMA model is disruption-tolerant. MIIS enables information to be accessed and updated even in a disrupted network. MIIS also enables information to be accessed and transmitted from or to the MESC's headquarter via mobile devices. Further, MIIS enables the interview process to be implemented in a more efficient manner without any disruption. Conclusion: Mobile application developed based on the proposed DTMA model was proved to be disruption tolerant. Such application can save time, operational cost and improve the business process in terms of data integrity, mobile access and high availability.

“…They undertake a comparison in the context of developing a new game for mobile phones and highlight important challenges such as portability when developing in native code, a factor which we have a closer look at in section 4.1. Indeed, as acknowledged by Heikkinen and Still [12] and Mukhtar et al [18], developers must realize that the "write once, use everywhere" idea is not possible due to hardware and software platform heterogeneity…”

Abstract-Modern smartphones have a rich spectrum of increasingly sophisticated features, opening opportunities for software-led innovation. Of the large number of platforms to develop new software on, in this paper we look closely at three platforms identified as market leaders for the smartphone market by Gartner Group in 2013 and one platform, Firefox OS, representing a new paradigm for operating systems based on web technologies. We compare the platforms in several different categories, such as software architecture, application development, platform capabilities and constraints, and, finally, developer support. Using the implementation of a mobile version of the tic-tac-toe game on all the four platforms, we seek to investigate strengths, weaknesses and challenges of mobile application development on these platforms. Big differences are highlighted when inspecting community environments, hardware abilities and platform maturity. These inevitably impact upon developer choices when deciding on mobile platform development strategies.
