Abstract Mobile projects often exhibit architectural issues. In this paper, we survey three different types of persons (instructors, students, and developers) to find out how often do those who write code struggle with architectural issues and how are those issues impacting their work. Our focus was on mobile projects, but to have a comprehensive…

How those applications are being built, heavily influences their lifecycle, costs, and product roadmap, that is why software architecture plays…
Abstract Mobile applications are one of the most common software projects written nowadays. The software architectures used for building those type of products heavily impacts their lifecycle as the architectural issues affect the internal quality of a software system hindering its maintainability and extensibility. We are presenting a novel approach, Clustering ARchitecture Layers (CARL),…
Abstract The mobile market grows larger year by year and at the core of those devices, we have the mobile applications that push the technological advancement forward continuously. Due to the increased hardware performance and the popularity of those devices as well as advancements in their operating systems, mobile applications have grown to be…
