A Framework for the Development of Mobile Social Software on Android

Nowadays, social aspects can be found in more and more mobile applications. Analyzing the domain of mobile social software and especially the offered features shows much similarity in the different apps. A framework that supports often used functionalities can facilitate and speed up the development of new innovative mobile applications. This paper presents the Mobilis framework, which aims to extensively support the developers of mobile social software. It provides often used features and offers the functionality in a service environment, that can easily be integrated into new mobile applications.
