This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project addresses the challenges presented by increasing mobile device use in enterprises. These mobile devices are managed by employees, contain personal data, and use diverse hardware and software systems. The company developed a new web browser, which they built from the ground up specifically for mobile devices. The company's mission is to use their browser as a platform for enterprise developers to build and deploy cross-­platform enterprise-­class mobile web apps. The fundamental question this research will answer is whether a browser can be a suitable platform for hosting enterprise mobile apps. As such, this research has three primary objectives. (1) Advance the state-­of-­the-­art in mobile web app design methodology by developing new abstractions, such as web push and background execution, that enable mobile web apps to access native features in a platform independent way. (2) Develop a system that encapsulates enterprise mobile web apps and data securely, with management functions to enable information technology (IT) staff to manage enterprise apps, data, and users. (3) Implement advanced debugging tools for web app developers. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is in enabling enterprises to use mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, in the workplace to access company apps and data securely. Although mobile devices provide workers with ubiquitous access to enterprise apps and data, employees often use these mobile devices for work and in their personal lives. The company's technology provides a mechanism to encapsulate enterprise apps and data and to keep enterprise data separate from personal data. Overall the proposed technology makes it easier and more cost effective for enterprise developers to write pure HTML5 apps that run on a diverse set of mobile devices, gives users the freedom to use mobile devices for both work and for personal use, and provides IT administrators with complete control over enterprise apps and data. International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates that the market segment the company operates in - mobile enterprise app platforms - will reach $3 billion by 2015. By providing fundamental advances in mobile web browsers, development tools, and application services.

这个小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第一阶段项目解决了企业中移动设备使用增加带来的挑战。这些移动设备由员工管理，包含个人数据，并使用不同的硬件和软件系统。该公司开发了一款新的网络浏览器，专门为移动设备而设计。该公司的使命是使用其浏览器作为企业开发人员构建和部署跨平台企业级移动 Web 应用程序的平台。这项研究将回答的基本问题是浏览器是否可以成为托管企业移动应用程序的合适平台。因此，这项研究有三个主要目标。 (1) 通过开发新的抽象（例如网络推送和后台执行）来推进最先进的移动网络应用程序设计方法，使移动网络应用程序能够以独立于平台的方式访问本机功能。 （2）开发一个安全封装企业移动Web应用程序和数据的系统，并具有管理功能，使信息技术（IT）人员能够管理企业应用程序、数据和用户。 (3) 为 Web 应用程序开发人员实施高级调试工具。该项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力在于使企业能够在工作场所使用智能手机和平板电脑等移动设备安全地访问公司应用程序和数据。尽管移动设备为员工提供了对企业应用程序和数据的无处不在的访问，但员工经常在工作和个人生活中使用这些移动设备。该公司的技术提供了一种封装企业应用程序和数据并将企业数据与个人数据分开的机制。总体而言，所提出的技术使企业开发人员能够更轻松且更具成本效益地编写在各种移动设备上运行的纯 HTML5 应用程序，使用户可以自由地将移动设备用于工作和个人用途，并为 IT 管理员提供对企业应用程序和数据的完全控制。国际数据公司 (IDC) 估计，通过在移动 Web 浏览器、开发工具和应用程序服务方面提供根本性进步，该公司运营的细分市场（移动企业应用程序平台）到 2015 年将达到 30 亿美元。
