Section IV
Cloudware Applications
This section presents an overview of the areas of cloudware applications of
significance for the future, namely, big data, mobile (i.e., enterprise mobiliza-
tion), and context-aware applications. Chapter 21 defines and identifies the
common characteristics of big data applications along with corresponding
tools, techniques, and technologies. Chapter 22 deals with enterprise agility
and its realization through mobilization applications. Chapter 23 introduces
the concept of context-aware applications and explains how they can signifi-
cantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of even routinely occurring
transactions.
An end-user application's effectiveness and performance can be enhanced
by transforming it from a bare transaction to a transaction clothed by a sur-
rounding context formed as an aggregate of all relevant decision patterns in
the past.
