Abstract

Nowadays, there are an increasing number of mobile lines in the world. This new trend has modified the society and the way that we perform the different daily tasks. Most part of the industries has introduced the mobile devices in its performance. But not only that, it has encouraged the development of mobile applications. Even in the health industry, there is a mobile app for almost everything. However, this rapid growth has been produced much disorganized. This is precisely the aim of this research as part of the PhD Programme. This paper presents the research performed under the PhD Programme with a brief overview of the main structure of this research. It describes the main hypothesis considered at the beginning of the investigation plan. Besides, it illustrates the main objectives, the population, the first participants and the variables that we considered in this project.
