The ability of offering various and abundant mobile applications has emerged as the knowledge of the smartphone has grown in the smartphone market. The mobile application market has emerged as a competitive new market with enormous potential. Although many users download paid or free mobile applications through the app markets such as the Appstore, there is no significant research regarding customer's application purchase yet. Hence, we refer to the purchase motivation of mobile applications among experienced users who have bought paid applications. We conducted the interview with 30 users and suggest four categories of applications (productivity, entertainment, information, and social networking) and also classify the purchase intentions on each category based on the ground theory. The comparison analysis of the interview provides us what factors affect the application purchase. This framework may advance effective mobile application business model development, implicate the strategy for boosting mobile application market.

최근 스마트폰과 같은 다양한 애플리케이션을 사용할 수 있는 모바일폰의 유행에 힘입어 모바일 애플리케이션 수요가 폭발적으로 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 모바일 애플리케이션에서의 품질의 중요성도 점차 커지고 있다. 하지만 모바일 애플리케이션은 다양한 플랫폼이나 모바일폰의 제약사항에 따라 호환성이 떨어지는 특성을 가짐으로써, 다른 플랫폼에서 애플리케이션을 재사용시 해당 플랫폼이나 모바일폰의 제약사항에 따라 다시 개발해야하는 제약을 가지게 한다. 이런 재개발은 플랫폼의 특성이 플랫폼 별로 상이함에 따라 개발에 어려움을 겪게 하고, 이는 애플리케이션의 품질을 저하시키는 요인이 될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 모바일 애플리케이션을 개발함에 있어서, 플랫폼에 비종속적인 범용 애플리케이션을 개발하기 위해 고려되어야 하는 이식성 척도들과 기존 애플리케이션의 이식성 품질 평가 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해, 먼저 애플리케이션을 다른 플랫폼으로 이식할 때 고려되어야 하는 모바일 애플리케이션의 특성들을 확인하고, ISO/IEC 9126에서 정의한 소프트웨어 품질 특성 모델을 참조하는 이식성 척도를 도출함으로써 기존 애플리케이션에서 이식성을 평가하기 위한 방법을 설계한다. 이를 통해 모바일 애플리케이션의 타 플랫폼 이식 가능성을 확인함으로써 다른 플랫폼에서의 재개발 필요성과 노력 정도를 확인할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 향후 이를 기반으로 모바일 애플리케이션의 타 플랫폼 이식 시, 수정되어야 하는 부분을 확인할 수 있도록 하는 자동화된 이식성 테스팅 툴을 연구하고자 한다.

However a mobile application has limited compatibility to other platforms and device. So a mobile application should be rebuilt as particular restrictions of platforms or mobile phones when the mobile application is reused for other platforms. However a mobile application has limited compatibility to other platforms and device. So a mobile application should be rebuilt as particular restrictions of platforms or mobile phones when the mobile application is reused for other platforms. This paper ascertains problems when a mobile application is transplanted for reusing into other platforms, and suggests to evaluation systems of portability's quality that we can check the portability convenience of the existing mobile application. As we confirm its grade that shows convenience of suggested portability, we are able to check problems issued when a mobile application implants to other platforms. Then it is expected that we can check capability of rebuilding and endeavor rate. Also if the method will be considered at the first step of designing a mobile application, it will be the best way to develop the better mobile application that we can easily implant many other mobile platforms.

The market penetration of the smart phones has brought significant changes to the related industries. As the mobile phone market as well as the smart phone application market are growing rapidly, competition among small-size application developers has become severe. However, due to the severe competition and expensive market entry costs, the developers argue that it is necessary to develope the applications from the perspective of the users. However, studies on application development from the users' perspectives are still in the early stages and they have not provided various approaches. Therefore, based on the Open Coding method of Ground Theory, this study collected data on applications review from related communities and blogs of Korean web portal sites, and identified indices which users consider important when they use the applications. In addition, we conduct a comparative analysis between those indices by calculating their frequency of exposure. As a result, a total of 30 sub-categories of indicators such as amusement, controllability, versatility and ease of use appeared to be predominant to users and those lower categories were grouped into five categories; sensibility, design, technology, price, and social skills. The results of this study suggest to the application developers the guidelines of user oriented design and development. It can be used to develop the evaluation tool for application usability.

We developed smartphone application and web application server to acquire and effectively manage tree measurement information. Smartphone applications can measure tree height, diameter at breast height (DBH), azimuth, altitude, slope, and positional coordinates using augmented reality (Google AR core) and motion sensors. The web application server effectively manages and stores measurement information. To evaluate the accuracy of information acquired using a smartphone, 90 Korean pine trees (Pinus koraiensis) were randomly selected from a natural mixed forest, with a total of 90 representative trees randomly collected from a natural mixed forest. Then, height and DBH were measured using a Haglof Vertex Laser Hypsometer and caliper. Comparisons of the results indicated significant results at the 95% level and a very high average correlation of 0.972 for both tree height and DBH. In terms of DBH, the average errors were 0.6745 cm and 1.0139 cm for artificial coniferous and natural mixed forests, respectively.
