The Architecture Journal 14 - Mobile Architecture
Every day I find the pervasiveness of mobile phones and devices just amazing, especially when I look at the projected growth rate for the next few years. With this growth and the rapid advances in mobile technology, I realize that there is a very good chance that my children will grow up never knowing what landline, rotary or pulse dialing really means! With any technology, software plays an important role in complementing this phenomenal growth of hardware, and this is the focus of this issue of The Architecture Journal.
To lead off this issue, Atanu Banerjee covers many considerations and aspects of applications on mobile devices today. Following this, Kulathumani Hariharan, an architect at Tata Consultancy Services, shares best practices, tips, and recommendations that may be pertinent if you are considering taking a line-of-business application to the mobile platform. We are then joined by Christoph Schittko, Darryl Hogan, and Jon Box as they introduce us to a scenario of a connected consumer experience in automotive devices. We explore what the future of software in the automobile may look like and some of the architectural perspectives that support this. Closely related to this article, we are very pleased to have our first external architect profile in The Architecture Journal. Faisal Waris is an architectural consultant, working at Ford Motor Company. We ask him about some of his thoughts on architecture, especially as they relate to mobile development.
