Description
Summary:New Advances in mobile computer technology and the rapid growth of wireless networks in quality and quantity has introduced new applications and concerns in computer science and industry. The unique requirements and constraints associated with mobile systems have brought new challenges to software development for such environments, as it demands extensive improvements to traditional systems development methodologies in order to fulfill the special needs of this field. We examine the challenges of developing software for mobile systems, starting by reviewing mobile systemspsila characteristics and investigating the status quo of mobile software development methods. It has been shown that Agile methodologies are appropriate methods for the development of such systems; based on this assumption, we identify specific requirements for a mobile software development methodology, based on which a new agile method is engineered using the Hybrid Methodology Design approach. We claim that this methodology, and the approach used for its construction, can facilitate the application of a software engineering approach to the production of mobile software systems.
