The paper
starts with reviewing the related works. Next, the different
mobile app paradigms are explained in a comprehensive way.
The core of the paper is the evaluation of the existing mobile
app paradigms. To verify the evaluation a practical
implementation is carried out. A mobile object
recognition/visual search app is chosen and is developed using
the two most promising paradigms, namely native app and
HTML5 mobile app. Evaluation results are also thoroughly
discussed.
