“…The paper (Khachouch et al, 2020) compared the merits and disadvantages of native, web, hybrid (Ionic Framework), cross-platform (Xamarin), modeling, cloud-based, and combined mobile app development approaches, as well as presented a decisional framework to pick among them. The proposed frameworks are based on answering multiple questions, with the weight assigned to each of these questions influencing the framework's ultimate conclusion and returning a final judgment for each mobile project setting (1: Not so important, 2: Important, and 3: Very important).…”

Because of the growing popularity of smartphones and tablets, the use of mobile applications has exploded recently. However, the variety of mobile platforms compels developers to create an app for each, making the process more complex and expensive. Thus, open-source cross-platform mobile frameworks have been developed to address this problem, allowing the same code to be imported across various operating systems. This paper comes to propose a new framework for the selection of the appropriate platform for the implementation of a cross-platform mobile application. This framework is based on the most used Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods namely Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods are used. A demonstrative example is proposed to illustrate the suggested methodology.

“…In this context, a technological transition from Kotlin to Flutter is possible due to the limited number of FASIH programmers, which is only two individuals. Developing native applications can require a large budget and involve many teams [9]. However, the advantages of this multiplatform technology are sometimes balanced by limitations, especially in terms of performance and integration [4].…”

One of the data collection methods used by the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) is Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). Currently, CAPI, known as FASIH, is continuously updated by BPS using the Kotlin programming language, which can run on the Android platform. It is possible that FASIH will be needed in a multiplatform form. However, there is an alternative for multiplatform application development, namely Flutter, which can be used in the development of FASIH. Nevertheless, BPS has not conducted any study on the development of the FASIH application using Flutter, hence the strengths and weaknesses of implementing this technology in FASIH application development remain unknown. Therefore, the author aims to conduct a study on the development of the FASIH application utilizing Flutter. The application development is carried out using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) Prototyping method. The resulting application is tested using black box testing and performance testing using a third-party application, Apptim. The black box testing results indicate that the application meets the functional requirements of stakeholders. In terms of performance, the Kotlin version of FASIH outperforms the Flutter version. However, Flutter has an advantage in accelerating development time. Additionally, concerning user interface development, the Flutter version of the FASIH application can run on multiple platforms. Nevertheless, further integration is required to ensure the proper functioning of the Flutter version of the FASIH application.

“…In addition, the same developers are required to offer user support services to farmers such as configuring data collection surveys in the SAAs -tasks that can be done by the farmers themselves. On the other hand, constructing SAAs is a complex undertaking that requires advanced programming skills [5]. For instance, modern SAAs are often composed of many layers that talk to each other in a distributed way.…”

Building Smart Agriculture Applications Using Low-Code Tools: The Case for DisCoPar

et al. 2021

Modern farming is experiencing increased adoption of mobile and cloud computing applications as efforts are being made to automate farming processes. In this context, the mobile and cloud computing applications, that we refer to as smart agriculture applications (SAAs), can be used in data collection that can be entered directly into the applications by endusers (i.e., farmers) or via sensors. Implementing SAAs is often done using text-based approaches that require advanced skills and experience in software programming. There are low-code development tools (LCDTs) that farmers with less programming experience can use to implement their own SAAs. The LCDTs offer different features and techniques for application development e.g., some employ form-based application specification while others use graphical drag-and-drop techniques. As such, the different LCDTs are best suited for different specific tasks. For instance, a farmer may need to implement an application that connects to sensors to receive data and generate timely notifications when set thresholds are exceeded. However, to the farmer, it can be difficult to know which kind of LCDTs to choose and what category of these tools are best suited for the task. In this paper, we contrast different LCDTs and show how to use DisCoPar to develop SAAs by non-expert programmers. As a contribution, this paper presents properties for LCDTs that can be beneficial to farmers and demonstrates how DisCoPar can be used in developing SAAs.
