NODAL: Structure and Reference for Web Documents
NODAL: Structure and Reference for Web Documents Lee Iverson1 University of British Columbia Dept. of ECE, 2356 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z4 [email protected], http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~leei Abstract. The Web has amply demonstrated the benefits of simple publishing and reference but these benefits are largely limited to the granularity of individual files. The potential for greater benefits that may derive from sub-document reference is currently being explored, but this exploration is limited by the fact that such references can only be used with a small portion of the Web’s content (i.e. that encoded in XML). We have developed a system, the Network-Oriented Docu- ment Abstraction Language (NODAL), that is designed to provide such a sub-document reference system for documents encoded in any format. Moreover, the data model can be mapped over database schemas and thus provide a common reference and access environment for structured, semi-structured and unstructured data. Finally, we outline a number of ways that this system can be extended to allow for composition, synchro- nization and reuse of documents and databases in this form and can thus form a hypertextual foundation for interactive application development without inhibiting interoperability with existing systems. 1 Overview The Web has created an unprecedented ability to publish and distribute docu- ments and other data and to augment this content with hypertextual references. However, the granularity of these references is, for the most part, limited to the file level. The combination of a need to reuse and/or quote sources smaller than a whole document (e.g. -

Mark Tremayne University of Texas at Austin . Applying Network Theory to the Use of External Links on News Web Sites Chapter 3 of the book Internet Newspapers: Making of a Mainstream Medium Lawrence Erlbaum Associates August 2004 Abstract This study tested emerging network theory against a sub-sample of the Web: stories on national news Web sites. It found that news Web stories contain links to external sites less frequently than just a few years ago. As each organization builds up its own archive of Web content, this material appears to be favored over content that is off- site.

Applying Network Theory to the Use of External Links on News Web Sites Compared to traditional media, the Web allows journalists greater flexibility in constructing sophisticated stories, stories that can be consumed in different ways by unique subsets of readers. Hypertext is allowing for stories that are less linear and more Use of External Links on News Web Sites 1 segmented than was possible before. As a result, news stories on the Web are more heavily linked every year (Tremayne, 2004b). The unique features of the Web were identified a decade ago as potential difference-makers in stimulating public dialogue of important issues (Rheingold, 1994; Rosen, 1995). -
Critical Capabilities for Successful Mobile App Development
7 Critical Capabilities Your Mobile App Development and Deployment Platform Must Include Speed Mobile App Development and Ensure Wide User Adoption Executive Summary In today's mobile business environment companies are scrambling to quickly mobilize hundreds of B2B and B2E business processes or legacy applications. There are three main approaches developers can use to build mobile business apps: - Responsive web apps - Native app development - "Native quality" hybrid apps This whitepaper explains important differences between these three approaches, outlines 7 mobile capabilities that real-world business apps require today, and identifies the most productive development approach for getting these mobile business apps to market FAST. 1 | P a g e High Demand for Mobile Apps For competitive and productivity reasons, businesses and organizations are embracing mobile more than ever. Gartner forecasts enterprise application software spending to double from $300B in 2013 to over $575B by the end of 2018.1 Yet, Gartner also predicts demand for enterprise mobile apps will outstrip available development capacity by five to one.2 Forrester warns: “The CIO who fails in mobile will lose his job.”3 As a result, companies are trying to find new ways to enable their employees to develop business apps. Everyone from young IT or business workers with basic HTML5 skills, to IT developers with limited mobile experience and business analysts are exploring how to build apps to get routine things mobilized faster. Rising End-User Expectations Complicating the problem is the rising expectations of an increasingly mobile workforce. Employees are adopting mobile devices exponentially and demanding more business apps to do their work. -
Factors Influencing Quality of Mobile Apps: Role of Mobile App Development Life Cycle

As per the various surveys, the number of lamentable/failing apps is growing enormously, primarily because mobile app developers are not adopting a standard development life cycle for the development of apps. In this paper, we have developed a mobile application with the aid of traditional software development life cycle phases (Requirements, Design, Develop, Test, and, Maintenance) and we have used UML, M-UML, and mobile application development technologies. -

Minh Huynh* Southeastern Louisiana University, [email protected] Hammond, LA USA Prashant Ghimire Southeastern Louisiana University, [email protected] Hammond, LA USA *Corresponding Author ABSTRACT Aim/Purpose As smartphones proliferate, many different platforms begin to emerge. The challenge to developers as well as IS educators and students is how to learn the skills to design and develop apps to run on cross-platforms. Background For developers, the purpose of this paper is to describe an alternative to the complex native app development. For IS educators and students, the paper pro- vides a feasible way to learn and develop fully functional mobile apps without technical burdens. Methodology The methods used in the development of browser-based apps is prototyping. Our proposed approach is browser-based, supports cross-platforms, uses open- source standards, and takes advantage of “write-once-and-run-anywhere” (WORA) concept. Contribution The paper illustrates the application of the browser-based approach to create a series of browser apps without high learning curve. Findings The results show the potentials for using browser app approach to teach as well as to create new apps. Recommendations Our proposed browser app development approach and example would be use- for Practitioners ful to mobile app developers/IS educators and non-technical students because the source code as well as documentations in this project are available for down- loading.

Current State of Mobile Applications . The Future of Mobile Applications . Development Introduction • A mobile application (or mobile app) is a software application designed to run on smart phones, tablet computers and other mobile devices. History of Mobile Application The history of the mobile app begins, obviously, with the history of the mobile device. The first mobile phones had microchips that required basic software to send and receive voice calls. But, since then, things have gotten a lot more complicated. NX3 Mobile Application Development Services Native And Non-Native Frameworks Native Application Environment: . Android . iOS . Windows Phone 8 . BlackBerry 10 Non-Native Application Environment: . Phone Gap . Titanium Mobile Android . Based on the Linux kernel, Android started life as a proposed advanced operating system for digital cameras until the company realized that the market was limited compared to that for mobile phones. The Open Handset Alliance unveiled the Android operating system in 2007, nearly two years after Google’s acquisition of Android. The launch of Google’s foray into the mobile world was delayed by the launch of the iPhone, which radically changed consumers’ expectations of what a smartphone should do. IOS . Apple’s iPhone set the standard for the new generation of smartphones when it was first released in June 2007 with its touchscreen and direct manipulation interface. There was no native SDK until February of 2008 (Apple initially planned to provide no support for third-party apps). The iOS lineage started with Next STEP, an object-oriented multitasking OS from the late eighties developed by NeXT Computer (acquired by Apple in 1996). -
