| Abstract [eng] |
With the introduction and popularity of wireless devices, the diversity of the platforms has also been increased. There are different platforms and tools from different vendors such as Microsoft, Sun, Nokia, SonyEricsson and many more. Because of the relatively low-level programming interface, software development for wireless devices platforms, such as Symbian, is a tiresome and error prone task. This paper introduces the problem of the software development for incompatible mobile platforms, moreover, it provides a solution based on easy to use web technologies – JavaScript and XML. In the presented approach, the platform-independence lies in JavaScript interpretation and XML structures based user interface. The subject of research, object and subject relevance were detectable through literature analysis and through existing approaches are presented in the first part. The platform independent mobile application framework was implemented to demonstrate the proposed solution. System components design and programming process are presented in the second part. The implemented system static view is provided by using class diagrams and dynamic view - by sequences and activities diagrams. In the third part are provided assessment of the platform independent mobile software framework capabilities and quality. Program developed by using this framework was compared to program developed by using standard Symbian OS native means. |
