Abstract

With recent advances in development and deployment of mobile business applications (MBAs) based on the hybrid Web approach (hybrid MBAs) enterprises around the world well recognize new potentials to mobilize their business processes (BPs). Variability has a natural appearance in complex environments of different enterprises, where even similar BPs can have varying facets on the cross-enterprise scale. Yet, despite this fact current development tools for hybrid MBAs are lacking systematic variability management. Further, the literature on this particular technological landscape is scarce. We highlight in this paper emerging importance of this research field and describe its context and a research methodology. We propose an SPL-based approach to tackle considerable variabilities of hybrid MBAs.
