Mobile Systems Development - A literature review <s> The Application Perspective <s> Driven by a widespread understanding of the Internet's capabilities, the power of electronic commerce, and advances in wireless technologies and devices, mobile commerce (m-commerce) is rapidly approaching the business forefront. According to independent research findings, m-commerce, the conducting of business and services over portable, wireless devices, will soon be a dominant force in business and society. The viability of these projections depends on the power of the underlying technology drivers and the attractiveness of m-commerce applications. To compete in a marketplace dominated by wireless devices, businesses must devise effective m-commerce strategies. Building successful strategies begins by recognizing the forces driving m-commerce's emergence. <s> BIB001 </s> Mobile Systems Development - A literature review <s> The Application Perspective <s> The emerging wireless technology is now widely applied in the business world. This article addresses the services and technologies of wireless communications used in the business world. Its business applications, managerial issues, and future development are also addressed. <s> BIB002 </s> Mobile Systems Development - A literature review <s> The Application Perspective <s> Advances in e-commerce have resulted in significant progress towards strategies, requirements, and development of e-commerce applications. However, nearly all e-commerce applications envisioned and developed so far assume fixed or stationary users with wired infrastructure. We envision many new e-commerce applications that will be possible and significantly benefit from emerging wireless and mobile networks. To allow designers, developers, and researchers to strategize and create mobile commerce applications, we propose a four-level integrated framework for mobile commerce. Since there are potentially an unlimited number of mobile commerce applications, we attempt to identify several important classes of applications such as mobile financial applications, mobile inventory management, proactive service management, product location and search, and wireless re-engineering. We discuss how to successfully define, architect, and implement the necessary hardware/software infrastructure in support of mobile commerce. Also, to make mobile commerce applications a reality, we address networking requirements, discuss support from wireless carriers, and present some open research problems. <s> BIB003 </s> Mobile Systems Development - A literature review <s> The Application Perspective <s> In this paper, we examine the requirements for future middleware to support mobile and pervasive applications and identify key research areas. We illustrate the research areas with requirements identified in two specific research projects concerning pervasive healthcare and home entertainment. <s> BIB004 </s> Mobile Systems Development - A literature review <s> The Application Perspective <s> Mobile Internet applications on ubiquitous mobile networks allows real‐time, anywhere, anytime connectivity to services. Owing to its scalability and potential cost savings, mobile communication is being increasingly applied in the business and consumer communities to create innovative data and voice application, which run over the Internet infrastructure. This paper describes the findings from a case study at an organisation that integrated mobile applications developed by third party developers. This paper presents a five dimensional reference model that provides a measure of project complexity for mobile systems development. This reference model aims to incorporate the unique context of mobile systems projects to: improve skills‐task allocation, allow more accurate development costing and improve project management performance on complex projects. <s> BIB005
The application perspective covers articles with the aim of classifying and categorising existing mobile applications and markets/sectors in which these may be of particular interest. The main contribution of this research is therefore an increased insight into and understanding of the various classes and types of applications that exist as potential future business objects BIB001  BIB005 . BIB003 for instance propose a framework for classification of different types of mobile applications and ends up with 10 different classes of such, e.g., mobile financial applications, mobile advertising, and mobile office. BIB004 takes a different path and discuss the requirements for future middleware (i.e. a set of generic services above the operating system) in order to support mobile applications. BIB002 takes the discussion a step further and address the question of business application, managerial issues, and future developments.
