The great evolution of the mobile market during the last years caused some fragmentation of the mobile platforms namely through the existence of different programming languages and software development tools for each platform. This fact can be an obstacle and increases the development complexity and costs when we want to develop mobile applications for multiple platforms. The XIS-Mobile domain specific language (defined as a UML profile) and its MDD-based framework address this problem by proposing platform-independent models to describe mobile applications and from them automatically generate the application's source code. Many issues arose during an iterative process of evaluation which originated changes and the evolution of XIS-Mobile. This paper presents the results of the evaluation of XIS-Mobile (both the language and the companion framework) obtained through the implementation of a case study and by conducting a user session, and discusses its benefits and challenges.

Mobile applications are becoming increasingly more present in our daily life, allowing people to perform several tasks through the use of smartphones or tablets. Despite fostering the innovation, the rapid growth of the mobile market resulted in some fragmentation of the mobile platforms. The existence of different mobile operating systems with different programming languages and tools can be a problem when someone wants to release an application in multiple platforms. Rewriting the application for each platform is usually impracticable either in terms of budget or time, requiring a great effort. Therefore, a solution that could generate cross-platform applications without compromising the quality, would decrease the time to market and increase the number of potential users. This paper presents the XIS-Mobile language, defined as a UML profile in the context of the Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect, and discusses its main challenges and benefits in the context of the cross-platform mobile application development.

“…Mobile agents gained much attention [4], in [5] a UML profile was defined for global systems, and [6] developed a new formalism, MobiCharts, for mobile computing environments. However, all of the above papers focus more on scenarios, where mobile entities could move to predefined locations, and not on ad hoc networks.…”
