Abstract

With the paradigm shift from desktop to mobile applications and the growing demand for mobile devices has awakened the interest of the IT industry on how to tackle the development of mobile applications. Managing application state is hard in building modern mobile applications. As application complexity increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep the track of changing state and mapping those changes back to user interface. State management is challenging due to its low-level implementation complexity. To overcome above mentioned issue, there is a strong need to introduce model driven approach for state management in mobile applications. This paper proposes a Unified Modeling Language profile for Mobile Application State Management (UMASM) to simplify mobile application state management requirements. Particularly, UMASM is capable of representing mobile state management requirements at higher abstraction level. This provides the strong basis to automatically generate low level implementations in target platform like Redux from high level UMASM models. The applicability of UMASM is validated through e-banking application case study.
