Design and Implementation of a mobile application based on Cordova framework and web technologies for a University intranet

Abstract

Hybrid mobile development is a way of programming mobile applications based on web technologies instead of native interfaces. The development of mobile applications based on hybrid technologies also avoids parallel development of mobile applications in the different mobile operating systems, such as Android or iOS. Furthermore, the use of hybrid mobile development has been completed with a MVC (Model - View - Controller) pattern that will lead us to implement a more extensible and modulable application. This final project aims at developing a mobile application for the UPM intranet, targeting employees of the university. This will be used to reduce some aspects of an ordinary native mobile project like: - Time cost of developing different sources for different platforms. - Maintenance time for bugs and new platform upgrades. - Efforts of deploying apps in multiple environments. The main tasks of the project will be: (i) analysing the requirements, (ii) design the application, (iii) integrate the application with the services provided by the intranet, (iv) evaluate the application, and (v) write the proposal.
