Mobile augmentation's importance in the creation of Mobile applications

Abstract

The increasing adoption of mobile cellphones and applications has transformed daily activities in both personal and professional contexts, greatly increasing human productivity. Due to the many advantages that mobile applications have over traditional desktop programs—including the potential for countless new business ventures—the majority of corporate and personal applications have now moved to mobile platforms. These days, mobile apps are an essential component of many different kinds of devices running different operating systems, including Windows, Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Symbian, and others. Still, it has grown more difficult for
development and QA teams to guarantee error-free mobile apps that operate flawlessly on end customers' mobile devices. In mobile application development, Android and iOS are the most commonly used operating systems for this purpose. The software can be either preinstalled on the device, downloaded from a mobile app store or accessed through a mobile web browser. Programming and markup languages like Java, Swift, C# and HTML5 are commonly used for this kind of software development. The creation of mobile applications has emerged as a new market in mobile communication thanks to smartphones. Developers are able to produce a wide range of applications for smartphones that are compatible with the specific application environment. These mobile applications give phones personalized or user-defined functionality. These days, mobile applications are more sophisticated than ever, combining several aspects of mobile computing, including mobile web technology, wireless networks, GPRS, GSM, and more. But as smartphones' capabilities grow, owners of earlier models of the gadget also want to utilize comparable apps on their own phones. With the help of the Mobile Augmentation Architecture, developers of mobile applications can now construct apps that work on networks or platforms
that their devices do not support. This paper aims to explain the function of mobile augmentation in the mobile technology domain. Additionally, it makes recommendations for other mobile computing technologies that might be combined to create mobile augmentation technologies. Rapid improvements in mobile computing technology have led to more sophisticated mobile applications, and users need reliable functionality that can boost mobile devices' capabilities and performance. An integrated technology architecture that can meet this need is provided by mobile augmentation. The paper also describes the Layered Architecture of a Mobile Augmentation Application and how to implement a Mobile Augmentation Application.
