Mobile business applications (mobile business apps) bear huge potentials for increased work productivity, work comfort, and even sales if they are of high quality. Usability and user experience, in particular, are among the key quality attributes. The high quality requirements of mobile business apps require them to be thoroughly engineered. Unfortunately, today's software engineering approaches are often too heavy-weight to allow developing highquality mobile business apps in the context of mobile projects, which often face small budgets, extremely limited effort, and short time-to-market requirements. This paper presents mConcAppt, a user-centered and lightweight conception method for mobile business apps. It provides guidance for requirements engineering and interaction design for mobile business apps and provides interfaces to other activities, such as visual design, architectural design, implementation, and testing. The adoption of mConcAppt in various industrial contexts indicates that it enables organizations to elaborate a concept for a highquality mobile business app in 2-4 weeks.

Abstract. Current interaction techniques for mobile map-based applications suffer from several usability problems. Tilt interaction provides an alternative form of interaction which combines the benefits of one handed interaction with intuitive physical gestures. Research has shown that tilt interaction suffers from a lack of controllability, high mental demand and practical concerns. In this paper, the design and evaluation of a new tilt interaction technique, called IntelliTilt, is described. IntelliTilt incorporates several intelligent techniques to address the shortcomings of tilt interaction. IntelliTilt was compared to a basic tilt interaction technique using a prototype mobile map-based application in an experiment. The results of this experiment showed that IntelliTilt was preferred by the participants and that it offered significant advantages in terms of mental demand, perceived efficiency and controllability.

Abstract. Mobile visualisation of map-based information is a difficult task. Designers of such systems must contend with the limitations of mobile devices in terms of hardware, screen size and input mechanisms. These problems are exacerbated by the nature of spatial data, where a large information space needs to be presented and manipulated on a small screen. In this paper, a prototype adaptive mobile map-based visualisation system, called MediaMaps, is presented. MediaMaps allows users to capture, location-tag, sort and browse multimedia in a map-based view. MediaMaps was designed to adapt the information visualised, the map-based visualisations and the supporting user interface. The results of an international field study, in which participants used MediaMaps on their personal mobile phones for a three-week period, are also presented. These results show that the adaptations implemented achieved high levels of accuracy and user satisfaction and successfully addressed some of the limitations of mobile map-based visualisation.
