Mobile business applications (mobile business apps) bear huge potentials for increased work productivity, work comfort, and even sales if they are of high quality. Usability and user experience, in particular, are among the key quality attributes. The high quality requirements of mobile business apps require them to be thoroughly engineered. Unfortunately, today's software engineering approaches are often too heavy-weight to allow developing highquality mobile business apps in the context of mobile projects, which often face small budgets, extremely limited effort, and short time-to-market requirements. This paper presents mConcAppt, a user-centered and lightweight conception method for mobile business apps. It provides guidance for requirements engineering and interaction design for mobile business apps and provides interfaces to other activities, such as visual design, architectural design, implementation, and testing. The adoption of mConcAppt in various industrial contexts indicates that it enables organizations to elaborate a concept for a highquality mobile business app in 2-4 weeks.

In this chapter we describe a set of techniques and tools that aim at supporting designers while creating mobile multimodal applications. We explain how the additional difficulties that designers face during this process, especially those related to multimodalities, can be tackled. In particular, we present a scenario generation and context definition framework that can be used to drive design and support evaluation within realistic settings, promoting in-situ design and richer results. In conjunction with the scenario framework, we detail a prototyping tool that was developed to support the early stage prototyping and evaluation process of mobile multimodal applications, from the first sketch-based prototypes up to the final quantitative analysis of usage results. As a case study, we describe a mobile application for accessing and reading rich digital books. The application aims at offering users, in particular blind users, means to read and annotate digital books and it was designed to be used on Pocket PCs and Smartphones, including a set of features that enhance both content and usability of traditional books.
