[2] A MEAP/MADP ideally includes tools for testing, debugging, and maintaining existing applications, as well as API calls for back-end databases and middleware for linting, parsing, and compiling.
Mobile client applications are software programs that connect to the middleware server, driving both the user interface and the back-end logic on the device.
[7] They integrate with multiple server data sources, allowing businesses to utilize Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) services from backend systems.
[8] Some platforms include low-code or no-code tools to further simplify app development, while others offer remote device management and offline capabilities.
These platforms utilize semantic integration techniques, applying domain-specific ontologies and XML-based standards such as OWL and RDF to manage diverse business information resources.
Additionally, advanced MEAPs leverage reasoning and auto-discovery mechanisms using inference engines to enable automatic resource discovery and dynamic decision-making processes.
