Model-Driven Development (MDD) tools for Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) development are focused on software modeling, and they leave automatic code generation in a second term. On the other hand, Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools for RIAs development enable developers to save development time and effort by leveraging reusable software components. AlexandRIA is a RAD tool that allows developers to automatically generate both source and native code of multi-device RIAs from a set of preferences selected throughout a wizard following the phases of a User Interface (UI) pattern-based code generation approach for multi-device RIAs. In this chapter, the use of the UI design process behind AlexandRIA is demonstrated by means of a sample development scenario addressing the development of a cloud services Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)-based cross-platform mobile RIA. This scenario is further revisited in a case study that addresses the automatic generation of an equivalent application using AlexandRIA.

Consumers shifted their spending to the web due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak. Businesses and organizations that once mapped digital strategy with careful planning over a transition period, now forced to scale their initiatives in a matter of days. In this regard, we are motivated by the need to develop a scalable, highly available, resilient, secure, and cost-effective e-commerce web application for demonstrating how cloud services can be leveraged for implementing such applications. This paper is a part of the aforementioned web application development project, titled “A cloud-based e-commerce storefront prototype for SMEs in Oman”. In this paper, we discuss the system considerations, components of implementation, and the schematic design of the proposed software solution. This paper provides meaningful guidelines for companies that want to adopt cloud-based E-commerce web application to bring their products and services online without much upfront cost or initial investment.

This chapter explores the potential of mobile cloud services to act as catalysts of pedagogical change in tertiary education. Mobile computing has emerged as a significant platform, with worldwide uptake dwarfing traditional desktop and laptop computing. According to the International Telecommunication Union (Acharya & Teltscher, 2010), at the end of 2010, 76% of the world’s population is now own mobile phones (116% in developed countries [by subscription], and 68% in developing countries), and mobile broadband subscriptions to the Internet (940 million) outnumbered fixed broadband connections (555 million). The advent of the iPhone, the iPad, and Android based smartphones have driven the explosion of mobile application development, numbering over 650,000 mobile apps across four main platforms (GSMArena, 2011; Perez, 2011), with many of these apps providing access and interaction with cloud services. Harnessing the potential of these two new computing behemoths within education is still at early stages of development and research. This chapter provides research-informed examples of the impact of mobile cloud services on teaching practice and learner experiences.

Korea and Japan are the countries with more than 30% of the population aged 60 or over in 2019, and Korea is progressing its aging speed faster than Japan. Oral healthcare in the elderly is a fundamental component of the whole health and has a significant impact on the quality of life. Accordingly, there is an urgent interest and effort for improving oral healthcare and improving the quality of life for the elderly. Due to the lack of economic power and low education levels, the number of dental visits by the elderly has dropped significantly. Therefore, developing an application for oral healthcare for the elderly not only helps to keep oral healthcare on their own but also prevents dementia, thus reducing the social cost of dementia. This mobile application is based on the findings that it can activate the cognitivebehavioural function, prevent dementia, or slow the progression of dementia by strengthening chewing function and oral muscle function exercise of the elderly. This application is composed of a content utilization module and oral healthcare diagnostic module and used Android Jellybean 4.1, Android SDK, Cordova, Materialize CSS, Sublime Editor, Windows 10 for mobile application development.

Increasing physical objects connected to the Internet make it possible for smart things to access all kinds of cloud services. Mashup has been an effective way to the rapid IoT (Internet of Things) application development. It remains a big challenge to bridge the semantic gap between user expectations and application functionality with the development of mashup services. This paper proposes a mashup service recommendation approach via merging semantic features from API descriptions and structural features from the mashup-API network. To validate our approach, large-scale experiments are conducted based on a real-world accessible service repository, ProgrammableWeb. The results show the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

Rapid advancements in the infrastructure of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have led to radically new but ubiquitous technology; cloud computing. Cloud computing has gracefully emerged offering services that possess on-demand scalability, huge computing power, and a utility-like availability, all at a relatively low cost. It has unsurprisingly become a paradigm shift in ICT, gaining adoptions in all forms of application i.e., personal, academic, business, or government. Not only for its cost-effectiveness but also for its inherent ability to meet business goals and provide strategic ICT resources. More recently there have been advances in cloud computing leading to the evolution of newer commercial cloud services, one of which is the Mobile backend as a Service (MBaaS). The MBaaS is important and required for a robust mobile application back-end data storage and management. Its wide adoption and importance stem from its ability to simplify application development and deployment. Also, MBaaS is robust, with the ability to cope with errors by providing nifty tools and other features. These enable rapid scaffolding of mobile applications. This paper reviews Mobile backend as a Service (MBaaS) and provides required background knowledge on some cloud services and their providers to enable stakeholders to make informed decisions and appropriate choices.
