Abstract

Mobile web information systems are becoming a common trend in most commercial and corporate environments. While the most visible problems in mobile systems are the communication infrastructure and technical constraints of portable devices, there are also architectural issues that must be properly addressed at the conceptual level. This paper describes our work towards categorising and analysing conceptual architectures for mobile web information systems. We have defined a domain-specific architectural pattern catalogue for this domain, and mined several patterns from existing, well-known systems. Our goals are twofold. First, we aim at building a catalogue of architectural solutions proven successful in industrial practice and, second, we aim at defining a high-level, common language to describe these solutions.
