“…Second, we sought to give mobile computing and related topics a home. Mobile computing and predecessors of research on IoT have been featured at HICSS for decades, but giving them an explicit focus appeared to be reasonable to us, following the current developments in the field, e.g., regarding app-enablement [16]. Our minitrack series combines tradition and timeliness.…”

The HICSS Software Technology track has a long tradition and many papers have been published as part of its history. Its impact in terms of citations, paper contributions, author share and community impact does not yet seem to have been investigated, though. In particular, software technology has evolved, and as it stands, it is of primary importance for mobile computing, the Internet-of-Things and Cyber-physical Systems. Hence, the development of these topics and the related impact of this track are of particular interest. In this paper, we present a bibliographic analysis as a first step towards such an investigation. We found that the history of the track is indeed noteworthy. Our results include finding a few extremely much cited papers, some curious tendencies, and a generally favourable outlook for HICSS. We found that indeed many papers in the history of this HICSS track addressed mobile technology and are highly cited. Together with providing insight into track, paper and author impact, we also raise questions worth of further investigation to understand the role of the HICSS Software Technology track and its impact on the academic field and society.

“…Developing a Native app for different devices and operating systems requires knowledge of the development environment as well as the programming language of each operating system. Due to the complexity of Native app development different development techniques have been introduced that are usually referred to as cross-platform development (Rieger and Majchrzak, 2018). Therefore, the ultimate goal of cross-platform mobile app development is to achieve Native app performance and run on as many platforms as possible (Xanthopoulos and Xinogalos, 2013).…”

Merging the content of learning with the motivation of games can be a successful combination, if done properly and supported by the appropriate tool. Towards this goal, we developed Diagram⊷atic an environment used to gamify the inclassroom activity of designing diagrams during a lecture. Using Diagram⊷atic the professor, instead of lecturing about diagrams or showing examples of such diagrams, can design short games where the students could play by competing during the lecture. Diagram⊷atic is a complete environment offering to the professor a design application to create games and a management application. The management application is used for monitoring the games while students play, as well as to present the results to the students after the end of each game, or to evaluate these results after classroom time. The students may use the mobile application on their mobiles to practice by designing diagrams outside of the classroom, as well as to play a game during classroom time, but only after the professor starts this game. The environment handles the communication from students' mobiles to the professor's applications and vice versa, while the students submit their diagrams or receive the correct ones, so to proceed to follow up games. The current version of Diagram⊷atic is tailored for designing flow graphs used for path testing into a higher education software engineering course, but the environment can be used in any similar case requiring the design of diagrams (e.g. math, physics, chemistry).

“…It is important to note that cross-platform is an umbrella term for a wide variety of concepts, technologies, approaches, frameworks and libraries. The term is also somewhat context-dependent, meaning that cross-platform development could refer to the development of software across multiple device types, not only mobile, as discussed and conceptualized by Rieger and Majchrzak [81]. Nevertheless, throughout this current literature review, we focus on mobile smartphones, leaving other smart devices such as cars, smart homes and Internet of Things devices out of the scope.…”

“…The survey at hand is not the rst taxonomy or survey on mobile application development, nor is it hopefully the last. A recent study by Rieger and Majchrzak [81] explore the vast landscape of app-enabled devices, in which they generate a taxonomy based on dimensions related to media input, output, and device mobility. The nature of their taxonomy is distinctly di erent from that of ours.…”

“…If one is to extend our context-depending de nition of mobile cross-platform, being apps that can be deployed to multiple platforms with little to no platform-speci c changes, also additional devices (platforms) may be subject to accessibility research. This extension of our de nition is proposed by Rieger and Majchrzak [81], and includes such as smart TVs, smart cars (e.g. Tesla) and similar.…”

A Survey and Taxonomy of Core Concepts and Research Challenges in Cross-Platform Mobile Development

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Developing applications targeting mobile devices is a complex task involving numerous options, technologies and trade-o s, much so due to the proliferation and fragmentation of devices and platforms. As a result of this, cross-platform app development has enjoyed the attention of practitioners and academia for the previous decade. Throughout this review, we assess the academic body of knowledge and report on the state of research on the eld. We do so with a particular emphasis on core concepts, including those of user experience, device features, performance, and security. Our ndings illustrate that the state of research demand for empirical veri cation of an array of unbacked claims, and that a particular focus on qualitative user-oriented research is essential. Through our outlined taxonomy and state of research overview, we identify research gaps and challenges, and provide numerous suggestions for further research.
