Development of mobile search applications over structured web data through domain specific modeling languages

Demand on mobile phone applications is arising day by day, because users want to reach everything they do from their Personal Computers. Therefore, there is an increasing interest on mobile phone applications. Search Computing is a project which enables users to make multi-domain search. By having chance of mobility, in order to make users use this system more, a mobile version was needed. That’s why; the aim of this project is developing a mobile search application using a language which is compatible with all mobile phones. In this sense, mobl Language has been chosen since it works on the most important mobile operating systems which lead to the market. By this application, while users don’t need to download any application to their phones, thanks to HTML5, they will enjoy the advantages of the newest technology. The main aim of this project is letting users to search for things to do connecting them to each other. That is, if the user wants to go to a concert that is close to the restaurant in which he/she wants to eat before and stay in a hotel after the concert, he/she can find the best combination via the Search Computing system through his/her mobile phone. The application is connected to the Search Computing (SeCo) system via API of the server and uses JSON files coming from the server. Moreover, the application contains Google Map on which users can interact. In this document, it can be found information about the Search Computing project, information about the API of SeCo, the analysis of the system and the language, the design principles in order to make the application more usable and the implementation of the application.
