There are many mobile applications currently available on the market, which have been developed specifically for smart phones. The operating systems of these smart phones are flexible in order to facilitate the application development for programmers regardless of the lower layers of the operating system. Mobile phones like other pervasive devices suffer from resource shortages. These resources vary from the power (battery) consumption to the network bandwidth consumption. In this research we identify and classify mobile resources and propose a monitoring approach to measure resource utilization. The authors provide a monitoring tool, which generates traces about the resource usage. Then they propose a benchmarking model which studies traces and enables users to extract qualitative information about the application from quantitative resource usage traces. Results of the study could assist quality operators to compare similar applications from their resource usage point of view, or profile a single application resource consumption.

There are many mobile applications currently available on the market, which have been developed specifically for smart phones. The operating system of these smart phones is flexible enough to facilitate the high level application development. Similar to other pervasive devices, mobile phones suffer from limited amount of resources. These resources vary from the power (battery) consumption to the network bandwidth consumption. In this research the mobile resources are identified and classified. Furthermore, a monitoring approach to measure resource utilization is proposed. This monitoring tool generates traces about the resource usage which is followed by a benchmarking model which studies monitoring traces and enables users to extract qualitative information about the application from quantitative trace of resource usage.

BACKGROUND Diligent wear of removable orthodontic retainers requires prolonged compliance and is invariably necessary to preserve optimal results. Patient-informed behaviour-change interventions represent a promising and novel means of enhancing compliance with retainer wear. OBJECTIVE To describe the development of a patient-informed mobile application aimed to enhance retainer wear. METHODS Four aspects were considered during mobile application development: participant preferences; analysis of publicly-available retainer-related posts on Twitter; available interventions; and behaviour-change theories. Audio-recorded one-to-one interviews were conducted with a subset of participants to account for patient preferences in terms of features, design and content. A criterion-based purposive sample of participants wearing vacuum-formed retainers for at least 4 years was used. Thematic analysis of transcribed data was undertaken. RESULTS The need to facilitate communication with the treating clinician, responsive reminder and tracking systems, and access to useful and engaging written and visual information, in addition to other personalised and interactive features were considered important. Concerns related to retainer wear shared on Twitter informed an exhaustive list of frequently-asked questions. Application features were mapped to relevant theoretical constructs. Determinants of existing behavioural change theories were used to link application features to expected outcomes. CONCLUSIONS A holistic process involving both patient and professional input can be useful in informing the development of mobile applications. The orthodontic application (“My Retainers”) will undergo further scrutiny in relation to its effectiveness in inducing behavioural change and concerning patient experiences prior to finalisation.

Low quality mobile applications have damaged the user experience. However, in light of the number of applications, quality analysis is a daunting task. For that reason, QDroid is proposed, an automated quality analyzer that detects the presence of crashes, excessive resource usage, and compatibility problems, without source codes and human involvement. QDroid was applied to 67 applications for evaluation and discovered 78% more crashes and attained 23% higher Activity coverage than Monkey testing. For detecting excessive resource usage and compatibility problems, QDroid reduced the number of applications that required manual review by up to 96% and 69%, respectively.

Composition Process

Несмотря на множество доступных мобильных приложений с различными формами реализации (например, компонент, услуга или приложение), потребности пользователя отличаются от одного к другому. Кроме того, мобильные устройства характеризуются разнородными программными и аппаратными конфигурациями. Таким образом, важной проблемой при разработке мобильных приложений является их развертывание на доступных разнородных устройствах. Для решения этих проблем необходим процесс композиции, позволяющий повторно использовать существующие разнородные объекты для разработки мобильных приложений в соответствии с требованиями пользователя, и чтобы поведение желаемых приложений можно было настраивать в соответствии с их различной контекстной информацией. В статье эта проблема решается на основе процесса создания мобильных приложений с учетом контекста на основе существующих гетерогенных программных объектов. Despite the many mobile applications available with different forms of implementation (for example, a component, service or application), the user's needs differ from one to another. In addition, mobile devices are characterized by heterogeneous software and hardware configurations. Thus, an important problem in the development of mobile applications is their deployment on available heterogeneous devices. To solve these problems, we need a composition process that allows us to reuse existing heterogeneous objects for developing mobile applications in accordance with the user's requirements, and so that the behavior of the desired applications can be customized according to their different contextual information. In the article, this problem is solved on the basis of the process of creating mobile applications taking into account the context on the basis of existing heterogeneous program objects.

Rest Api

Kulkul is one of Bali's cultural heritage. Kulkul is used in Balinese society for communication when there is a danger, death, a ritual, and so on. The current phenomenon is that many Balinese people are only able to know and without knowing much knowledge about kulkul. It is because this knowledge is the only word of mouth, making it difficult for it to be collected, stored, retrieved, shared, and renewed. Current technological developments, especially mobile technology, allow the development of mobile applications on cultural knowledge with an ontology approach that will help provide an explicit explanation of this knowledge. In this study, the authors propose the application of a web service with a REST API architecture to help mobile applications integrate Balinese Kulkul Semantic Ontology. This study uses the prototyping method in developing the REST API. From the tests that have been done, it is found that the REST API has successfully received requests and responses which prove that the mobile application is well integrated.

While previous research on application adoption has partly advanced our understanding of factors affecting the adoption of mobile applications, less attention has been given to the whole process of application development, from idea characteristics to the supportive activities after launch. In particular, less is known about these factors in the context of developing countries, where mobile applications are gaining increasing popularity. In this vein, this paper, adopting a grounded theory approach, aims to identify factors influencing the adoption of entertainment mobile application from the developer's points of view focusing on different phases of application development in the novel context of Iran. The authors' in-depth semi-structured interviews with experts in mobile application development firms indicate 15 factors classified within four categories based on the application development process, entailing idea characteristics, design, marketing communications and supportive activities. The implications of these findings provides valuable insight into why some mobile applications are more successful than others.
