Mobile devices like smartphones are not merely voice communication devices. They offer the chance to promptly provide information to mobile users almost independent of their location. However, many potential information providers do not have the necessary programming skills required to realize mobile applications (apps). Furthermore, different smartphones use different operating systems that support different programming languages. In this paper we present our research towards a target platform independent specification and generation of such apps. Hence, the goal of our work is to provide a system to non-technical users that enables them to create their own apps.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
