Mapping Reference Architecture on Third Party Mobile Devices - a Case Study from Volvo IT

Abstract: The increasing demands on using mobile technologies, leads to the raise of lacking the unstructured mobile applications. Some companies have introduced guidelines and standards within their organizations to reduce the problems and augment the consistency between their software applications and reusing the components in different systems. This study presents the result of an exploratory case study at Volvo IT Company where Android and iOS platforms were mapped to the reference architecture. This paper presents the results by exploring mapping between the architectures and building a stand-alone application based on the obtained architectures. Also this paper can be studied as a guideline for mapping related mobile platform architecture.
