A cross-platform application framework for HTML5-based e-services

The e-service area is faced with unique challenges and opportunities as a new mobile IT-landscape emerges. Technical challenges such as heterogeneous devices and networks, scalability and ability to deliver e-services anytime, anywhere to the users must be met with the careful design of functional application platforms and means of distributing e-services in an efficient manner. In this paper, we present a novel cross-platform application framework for HTML5-based e-services. We analyse the framework, applying our NIMO model for development and deployment of e-Services, proving advantages concerning abstraction, availability and accessibility, as well as deployment and functionality.
