A generic architecture supporting context-aware data and transaction management for mobile applications
Steffen Vaupel, Damian Wlochowitz, Gabriele Taentzer · 2016
Mobile applications claim to operate reliably during spatial movement, however, developers have to deal with the effects of changing environmental contexts. One of the most important contexts is the connectivity of mobile devices. Since mobile applications are increasingly used as front-ends of transaction systems, they have to be designed for being able to deal with intentional or accidental loss of connection. In fact, we find a lot of mobile applications being not more than portable because they cannot operate without connections.
