Introduction: The introduction of Clinical Information Systems (CIS) to manage and store patient information has deeply modified the workflow of caregivers. As the information is no longer stored on a physical medium, caregivers depend on the presence of a computer to access patient data. This constraint has built up an invisible barrier between the source of information and the place of its use. The popularisation of mobile devices offers an oportunity to break this barrier by providing a ubiquitous access to information. The use of a mobile platform merges the advantages of a modern CIS and the mobility offered by paper. We have developed an application on a mobile device that nurses can carry along on all their visits. It allows the information gathered during their visits to be entered directly into the system. Method: The tool we present aims to manage the daily interventions of nurses. The interventions concern all kinds of treatments provided by nurses to patients. In the current organisation, nurses start their day by printing out all the daily interventions and use it as a procedure to follow. Every time a nurse performs an intervention, she takes a note indicating that the task has been done properly. When they have some spare time, nurses enter all the gathered information in the CIS. Once nurses are equipped with mobile devices, paper becomes useless. Consequently, the process is simplified. Replacing the paper by a mobile device application is not straightforward. In order to access patient information, the tool must be linked to the existing CIS of the hospital without creating too strong dependencies. Moreover, the mobile interface must be adapted to the specificities of the mobile device such as a smaller display size, a reduced computational power, a tactile-based interaction and a real-time usage. Results: In order to link the mobile application to the existing CIS, we relied on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It was mandatory to think of a software architecture that would not create a dependency with any legacy system. Thus, we defined a gateway server providing centralised access for the mobile application to any required information to or from the CIS. Integrating any mobile application would only require integrating this bridge. The gateway server also clearly separates the services that are available remotely from the ones proposed as usual Web services. The developed application not only allows the validation of the interventions and the input of measures, but it also offers a simple way to define the context in which nurses are working. This context is necessary to identify the specific list of interventions for the patients under the caregiver’s responsibility. The current CIS of the HUG includes a module that provides information concerning the interventions. Its interface is adjusted for a personal computer screen. Since caregivers are accustomed to this organisation of the information, we aimed to develop an interface on a mobile device that guarantees a certain level of homogeneity with the existing PC application. However, a mobile device’s screen is of limited size, therefore the interface has been completely rebuilt to be adapted to the new display. To deal with the limited display size, we rely on hierarchy and indexicality principles. For instance, based on the hypothesis that all tasks belonging to one category and planned at the same time can be regrouped under a single item; we regroup the interventions of similar top level in a common item. Moreover, to minimise user manipulations, relevant items are automatically moved to the top. Conclusion: The current daily workflow of nurses cannot be managed consistently using a unique tool. The need to switch from paper to computer induces work overload and is a source of errors. Therefore, we have developed a program running on a mobile device that nurses can carry during their visits. This program allows to manage nurses' daily interventions in real-time. The development of such a tool has required a complete reconstruction of the classical personal computer interface. This new interface takes into account a smaller display size, an innovative interaction paradigm, and real-time constraints.

Mobile systems and mobile applications have gained a lot of attention both in research and industry over the last years. The market share of mobile devices is constantly growing. More and more, users expect their mobile devices to provide functionality similar to the one they know from their desktop computers, but also to provide additional, mobile device specific functionality, like location based services. However, software development for mobile devices is still cumbersome and a methodology geared towards supporting the development of such mobile applications is still lacking. While there is broad agreement that developing for mobile devices is more difficult than traditional software engineering, we lack a precise understanding that goes beyond anecdotic evidence of why this is the case and how the situation can be ameliorated. We do not precisely know where and how the development of mobile application differs from “normal” software development and where new methodologies are needed. Aspects that need to be addressed in this context are, among others, the questions of software architectures for mobile applications, approaches to the software design for mobile applications and how the consequences of being mobile, e. g., changing location, changing context, changing connectivity, heterogeneous software and platforms influence the software development process and what design approaches do reflect the specialties of mobile applications and systems appropriately. While this special issue cannot provide a definite or complete answer to these questions, it does provide answers to some important aspects. In the following, we will first try to get a more thorough understanding of some of the main differences between mobile and classical application development and will then discuss how the papers contained in this special issue address these differences.

In the nowadays enterprise computerized context, there is a trend that shifts the business applications to the new mobile environments. In the light of this information, it is highly important to be knowledgeable about the software development methodologies available in order to make the right choice when it comes to developing a mobile application. The current research aims to presenting the methodological approaches regarding the development cycle of classic enterprise software versus mobile apps. In the first part of the paper a brief literature review regarding the mobile is made, for the purpose of justifying the current research theme. The most consistent part of the article puts face-to-face the classical and the new development methodologies adapted to the requirements of the new mobile environment trends. The paper also presents the challenges and limitations of mobile applications as well as few of the future trends in the researched domain.Keywords: Application 's Lifecycle Models, Agile Models, Mobile Environment, Mobile Apps1 Introduction to Mobile ApplicationsMobile applications, also referred to as mobile apps, are software applications that are usually designed to be ran on smart phones and tablet computers [1], The term apps had become extremely popular and, as a consequence, in 2010 was listed as Word of the Year by the American Dialect Society. Mobile applications are available through application distribution platforms, which are managed by mobile operating system developer.There are several major trends that we believe it contributes to the boost of using the today mobile applications:* the increased availability and options to Internet connection for mobile devices;* the shift to the new mobile environments for the business applications;* cloud application's development;* the newest research findings that identifies new technologies which increased the performance of mobile device while the price remained at the same level, allowed mobile devices to became available for a wider variety of users.Another important aspect, when it comes to mobile application development, is the number of users. Thus, the number of mobile worldwide workers in 2013 is over 1 billion and accounts for about 35% of the worldwide workforce. The structure of the above ratio shows that Asia/Pacific (including Japan) have the largest total number of mobile workers, 785 million, while the second place is taken by Western Europe whose mobile workforce reached 129.5 million in 2013 and accounts for about half of the Western European workforce population. The study [2] also highlights that US has the highest percentage of mobile workers in its workforce, with 75.5% by the end 2013 accounting to 119.7 million mobile workers. A quick glimpse to the future is displayed in the two most recent studies which predict that mobile worker population will reach 1.2 billion by 2014 (a VDC study [3]) and 1.3 billion by 2015 (an IDC study [4]).Every day, hundred thousands of mobile devices are sold and about the same number of applications is downloaded. By 2015, International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts [5] that 182.7 billion mobile will be downloaded. That's a 1600 % increase from the 10.7 billion downloaded in 2010. This information highlights the mobile user's appetite for a wide range of software applications.Cloud application development brings innovation [6] to mobile computing as mobile devices use clouds for a wide range of purposes, from data processing and data storage to other intensive data and information transactions. So far, there are few mobile cloud applications (like Google Maps, Gmail for iPhone and Cisco's WebEx on iPad and several others that use Software as a Service model) but the trend is highly increasing.The main purpose of the paper is to present the methodologies for developing classic enterprise application versus mobile applications. …

Study question Given the subjectivity of blastocyst grading and the challenge of performing routine competency assessments, how consistently do embryologists grade blastocysts when using an easily accessible phone application? Summary answer Grading agreement was fair to moderate for inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE), evidence that a mobile application can be used for quality assurance. What is known already Embryologists routinely perform external quality assessments (EQA), though the utility of EQA for quality improvement is limited, and more active, user-friendly tools are needed to improve quality assurance in embryology. Blastocyst grading is one of the most important and subjective tasks in clinical embryology, important for both blastocyst ranking and decision to freeze. Inter-user agreement is only fair for ICM (kappa 0.349) and TE grade (kappa 0.397; Storr et al., 2017). Fair agreement has also been reported for decision to freeze for a cohort of blastocysts that exhibited borderline morphology (kappa 0.301; Hammond et al., 2020). Study design, size, duration A prospective study of blastocyst grading consistency using ARTCompass, a mobile phone application designed to assess clinical decision making of laboratory staff for andrology and embryology competency. Two assessments, each with 100 images of expanded blastocysts in three planes, were performed by 42 embryologists from 9 clinics in 2 countries between April to July 2020. Survey 1 assessed ICM grading and survey 2 assessed TE grading using the same set of images for consistency. Participants/materials, setting, methods Blastocysts were of proportionally mixed grades (ranging from grade A to X) using a modified Gardner system that included “X” for non-viable ICM/TE. Embryologists were advised to complete the tests individually in one sitting. The Fleiss kappa coefficient (k) measured inter-rater agreement among embryologists when assigning blastocyst grade. Kappa value interpretation is as follows <0.20: poor; 0.21–0.40: fair; 0.41–0.60: moderate; 0.61–0.80: good and 0.81–1.00: very good. Main results and the role of chance Overall, agreement for ICM and TE grades was moderate among embryologists (kappa 0.47, 0.52, respectively). ICM grade B and C had the lowest agreement (0.37, 0.39), while ICM grade X (no, or degenerate ICM), and TE grade A showed the highest agreement (0.68, 0.62). These results illustrate that embryologists had difficultly classifying ICM grade when it was of moderate to poor quality (grade b or c), likely due to subjectivity in grading size and compaction level, but were good at classifying ICM grade when there was no apparent ICM (grade x). For TE grade, embryologists consistently identified a top-quality TE (grade a), which is reassuring as TE grade is the primary morphological feature used for blastocyst ranking. In general, this QA platform offers ease of use and shows agreement values for ICM and TE that are similar to other studies, suggesting that blastocyst grading with a mobile phone application is a viable option for quality assurance. Limitations, reasons for caution Only blastocyst grading was assessed, therefore additional competency assessments using a mobile device should be assessed for accuracy. Further studies are needed to determine if mobile applications can improve competency. Wider implications of the findings: Ease of use by 42 embryologists indicates mobile applications may provide a user-friendly and accessible platform for QA. Since effective and efficient assessment of competency and KPIs is an ongoing challenge for laboratories, a mobile application is a novel and effective tool to monitor QA parameters in the IVF laboratory Trial registration number Not applicable

The objective of the project is to develop a mobile learning application for smart phones. This could be used by educational institutions for learning and training purposes. It could also be used for on-the-go communication for students and academics, and for information sharing. It can serve as a medium to facilitate mlearning both in assembling responses from students to specific assessment tasks and for returning feedback to individual students. The mobile application would also integrate capabilities so the students would be able to access presentations by professionals through the internet connection on their mobile devices. The students could also interact with each other and the tutors by posting comments and sharing photos, images, voice and video through this application. The lecturer could facilitate and moderate debates while students could respond and learn while on the go. The application would also be used as a digital marketing channel for promoting educational programmes to potential candidates.

PurposeCloud computing becomes mobile when a mobile device tries to access the shared pool of computing resources provided by the cloud, on demand. Mobile applications may enrich their functionality by delegating heavy tasks to the clouds as the remote processing and storage have become possible by adding asynchronous behavior in the communication. However, developing mobile cloud applications involves working with services and APIs from different cloud vendors, which mostly are not interoperable across clouds. Moreover, by adding asynchronicity, mobile applications must rely on push mechanisms which are considered to be moderately reliable, and thus not recommended in scenarios that require high scalability and quality of service (QoS). To counter these problems, and the purpose of this paper, is to design a middleware framework, Mobile Cloud Middleware (MCM), which handles the interoperability issues and eases the use of process‐intensive services from smartphones by extending the concept of mobile host.Design/methodology/approachMCM is developed as an intermediary between the mobile and the cloud, which hides the complexity of dealing with multiple cloud services from mobiles. Several applications are presented to show the benefits of mobiles going cloud‐aware. Moreover, to verify the scalability of MCM, load tests are performed on the hybrid cloud resources using well known load balancing mechanisms like HAProxy and Tsung.FindingsFrom the study it was found that it is possible to handle hybrid cloud services from mobiles by using MCM. The analysis demonstrated that the MCM shows reasonable performance levels of interaction with the user, thus validating the proof of concept. Moreover, MCM decreases the effort in developing mobile cloud applications and helps in keeping soft‐real time responses by using its asynchronous approach.Originality/valueMCM fosters the utilization of different types of cloud services rather than the traditional mobile cloud services based on data synchronization. By offloading heavy tasks to the clouds, the framework extends the processing power and storage space capabilities of the constrained smart phones. The applications mentioned in the paper bring an added value by being success stories for mobile cloud computing domain in general.

The pervasive penetration of mobile smart devices has significantly enriched Internet applications and undoubtedly reshaped the way that users access Internet services. Different from traditional desktop applications, mobile Internet applications require users to input via touch screens and view outputs on the displays with considerably limited size. The significant conflict between the limited-size of touch screens and the richness of online media contents widely exists in dynamic-viewport mobile applications, a class of mobile Internet applications that download contents beyond the user's viewing region (referred to as viewport). As dynamic-viewport mobile applications usually use HTTP for content downloading, to improve their quality of experience (QoE) and cost efficiency, in this paper, we present a Mobile-Friendly HTTP middleware (MF-HTTP), which can interpret user touch screen inputs and optimize the HTTP downloading of media objects for such applications. We first demystify screen scrolling in mobile operating systems and precisely break down the viewport moving process. We identify the key influential factors for media object downloading and develop an optimal download scheme. Towards building a practical middleware, we further discuss and address the implementation issues in detail. We implement a MF-HTTP prototype based on Android platforms and evaluate the performance of MF-HTTP by conducting concrete case studies on two representative dynamic-viewport mobile applications, namely, web browsing and 360-degree video streaming.

This paper introduces iFringe, a mobile application that attempts to incorporate the resource heavy fringe analysis algorithms into the smart mobile devices platform. This first step taken towards mobility in the optical processing field aims to become a catalyst for modernization of various aspects of the field as well as to diversify developments to other applications. Predominantly, the motivation of this work stems from the vastly indifferent human interactive method of mobile devices, which enable images displayed on its touch screen to be manipulated in ways that could enhance the fringe analysis experience. Furthermore, given its hardware compatibility to the conventional fringe projection system, these mobile devices could potentially serve as a much more compact replacement. However, one imperative weakness that mobile devices pose is its limited computing ability. Therefore, to examine the feasibility of incorporating the fringe analysis algorithms into a mobile platform, we have implemented two fundamental fringe analysis techniques, namely the Fourier transform fringe analysis method and the phase-shifting technique. Formulas and processing procedures such as discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and quality-guided phase unwrapping, were included in accordance to their original algorithms to test their performance and usability on a smart mobile device. Details of the implementation and the performance results will also be presented in this paper to demonstrate the practicality of these algorithms on the smart mobile device platform.

One of the most important factors in digital games is the immersion of the players to enhance their experience in the virtual world created by games. This immersion can be achieved in different ways, such as graphics effects, realistic physics, artificial intelligence and even from user inputs. The Nintendo Wii controller, Sony Playstation Move controller and Microsoft Xbox Kinect, to name a few, present new forms of user interaction using the player's movements, which has led to new forms of gameplay, as well as great forms of feedback. In addition, mobile devices are providing new features, like accelerometers, touch screens, cameras and GPS, which allow new forms of interaction in games played on these devices. In response to this evolution, this paper presents a multi-platform architecture that supports a desktop game being controlled by mobile devices, using their built-in features such as vibration feedback, sound feedback, image feedback and unique inputs like location, voice recognition, camera and gestures in order to enhance player immersion during game play. Additionally, the architecture supports different types of user data input, such as gesture and motion, that can be utilized according to user preferences and desires. Moreover, with this architecture, the mobile screen device can be used to give players feedback, like visual effects, scores and statistics. These available schemes have proven to be very useful and attractive for players, giving them choices that best fit their preferences and abilities. This architecture can also be used in collaborative games, where each player uses his device to interact with games running both on mobile devices and desktop computers. In order to demonstrate our architecture's effectiveness, we have developed a desktop game and done a case study with a pilot group of users, where some usability factors were evaluated. Finally, using a mobile device for game data input and player feedback provides people who are resistant to complex game controllers the opportunity to enjoy playing games using the same device they are accustomed to using daily, thereby minimizing the time needed to learn what is usually necessary to start enjoying a game. This can, in many situations, lower the barrier encountered by experienced smartphone users who are novice game players, as demonstrated in our pilot usability tests, which found high fun factors in such players.
