Information Communication Technology (ICT) needs to provide the knowledge worker with an integrated support
system of information management and work-flow. This challenge, however, is further exacerbated in mobile
business wherein the knowledge work is not identified with a particular location. Information systems need to
be analyzed and modeled, keeping the location-independence of the users in mind. A Model Driven Architecture
(MDA) approach, aligned with Object-Orientated Design principles, and driven dynamically as the user interacts,
has immense potential to deliver solutions for the systems used by the knowledge worker. An MDA approach
provides a unified approach to solutions architecture, information management, and business integration. At the
enterprise level, the desktop, the mobile device and at the emerging marketplace level, the evolving need for realtime
decision making on any device, anywhere, anytime, to support mobile business is providing a framework for
aligning ICT to business. Further details are presented in this chapter together with some of the challenges and
opportunities to be seen within mobile business. |
