Abstract

At the present time, the use of mobile technology in business, is becoming an opportunity to generate competitive advantages within organization environments. Mobile technology helps a company to optimize its internal processes and services by means of added flexibility in order to access information anytime, anywhere. In this work we introduce M-Modeler, a software tool for modeling m-commerce businesses. Our approach starts from structural patterns in order to produce integral m-business solutions within organizations. M-Modeler implements a framework, based on m-business patterns that helps to reduce the ambiguity in business rules. This is specially useful in the design and construction phases of m-commerce systems development process. The framework allows the user to generate m-business solutions regardless of the specific mobile application. M-Modeler generates XML-based metadata of business workflows that may evolve with the constant necessities of change caused by the emergence of new market strategies demanded by the globalization.
