Dealing with Mobile Platforms Fragmentation Problem: Ontology Oriented Approach

The available researches that referred mobile platforms fragmentation problem showed that current solutions, although many, converge into several groups that have common advantages and disadvantages and are based on the same principle: code ones, run anywhere. Thus, the new approach that would enable the developers to use native development environments was necessary. This paper introduces an ontology oriented approach that is based on methodological interoperability. Important assumption of the ongoing research presented in this paper is that during the development process the development team should use the same methodology and the same approach while developing for multiple mobile platforms. This will enhance this process with the artifacts reuse possibility according to the ontologically described knowledge.
