Convergence Mobile Application Architecture on Requirement View

Mobile applications development challenges the modeling activities that precede the technical design of a software system. The context of a mobile system includes a broad spectrum of technical, physical, social and organizational aspects. Some of these aspects need to be built into the mobile applications. Selecting the aspects that are needed is becoming increasingly more complex with mobile systems than we have previously seen with more traditional information systems. In this paper, we discuss mobile application architectures. We start by describing some of the general concepts and terms behind client-server architectures and follow this by describing clients and servers and the connectivity between them. We then present several interesting architectural patterns and describe why they are useful as general mobile application architecture solutions. Finally, we discuss some of the tenets behind good architectural design and the considerations you need to be aware of when designing mobile applications. We also evaluate the mobile application architecture to apply an example case as best practices.
