Accentuated Factors of Handheld Computing

Andersson, Bo LU and Henningsson, Stefan LU (2013) 20th International Conference on Information Systems Development held in Edinburgh, Scotland, August 24 - 26, 2011 p.293-304
Abstract
The recent years of rapid development of mobile technologies creates opportunities for new user-groups in the mobile workforce to take advantage of in-formation systems (IS). However, to apprehend and harness these opportunities for mobile IS it is crucial to fully understand the user group and the mobile tech-nology. In this paper we deductively, from previous research on aspects on mobili-ty, synthesize a tentative analytical framework capturing factors accentuated in mobile IS design. We evaluate the framework based on criteria of completeness, distinctiveness, and simplicity. Eventually, these two steps develop the framework towards a theoretical contribution as theory for describing handheld computing from a designer’s perspective.... (More)
