Applying SOA Principles on Mobile Platforms
Martin Treiber, Christian Scherling, Schahram Dustdar · 2013
Principles of Service Oriented Architectures are well adopted for realizing complex distributed Service-based applications (SBA). In the mobile domain, however, we observe a different trend. App Stores emerged as main distribution channel and small standalone Applications (Apps) are the main mean to distribute software. We study the applicability of SOA principles for the mobile domain with respect to existing infrastructures like App Stores. We present a software framework that uses adapted SOA principles to provide the means to construct App-based Applications while following SOA principles. Taking mobility into account, we explain how our proposed software framework works with physical objects tagging and we illustrate the use of App compositions that are bound to physical objects.
