HICSS2016 Minitrack: Mobile App Development
(Software Technology Track)

January 5-8, 2016
Grand Hyatt, Kauai

Applications for mobile devices (apps) have facilitated the success
of smartphones and tablet PCs. By using apps, the multi-purpose
hardware of modern devices can be utilized to the full extent. Due to
the proliferation of mobile devices as a tool for consumers,
businesses increasingly embrace the topic. However, actually
improving business processes or even finding a mobile strategy is not
straightforward. Neither is the usage of so called business apps. In
many cases, development of business apps is prone to problems and
companies face technology choices they have little information for.
Developing business apps poses specific requirements due to their
business-critical nature. Com-pared to apps in general, higher
quality standards should be met, apps need to be more secure and
robust, and requirements need to be carefully engineered (and then
met), according to industry standards. Testing of apps has been found
to be very cumbersome. Whether (and to what extent) methods of
classical software engineering can be applied still is matter of
discussion. Moreover, new challenges such as development for multiple
platforms, device fragmentation, context-sensitivity, performance
issues, mobility-depended security issues and energy conservation
arise. Therefore, new threads of research are needed to tackle these
issues and pave the way for better business producibility.
The minitrack is devoted to (business) apps development and the
technological background of mo-bile computing for corporate or other
domain-specific non-consumer usage. Topics of interests include (but
are not limited to)
o App development within a domain context
o Economic and/or social impact of mobile computing
o Make-or-buy decisions in app development
o Engineering of apps for business processes
o Requirements engineering for apps
o Development methods for apps including the applicability of
existing methods to app development
o User interface (UI) design research for apps and the bridge to
Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) research
o Internet of things (IoT) and apps
o Testing of apps
o Business models for apps
o Cross-platform development
o Webapps vs. native apps vs. hybrid apps
o Responsiveness of apps for different device types (smartphone,
tablet, desktop, wearables, etc.)
o Business app security
o Legal aspects of app development, distribution, and usage
o Energy efficient computing on mobile devices
o Enterprise distribution of apps and Mobile device management (MDM)
o Sensor-usage for business apps
