Adoption of RMVRVM Paradigm in Industrial Setting: An Empirical Study

RMVRVM (Remote-Model View Remote-View-Model) creates energyefficient cloud-connected user applications.The paradigm replaces the MVVM paradigm in developing cloud-connected UI-heavy applications that run on battery-operated devices.Since the paradigm significantly affects the architecture of cloud-connected applications, adopting the RMVRVM paradigm could be challenging for IT professionals.In this paper, we present the results of the empirical study conducted to assess the acceptability and challenges of adopting the RMVRVM paradigm in industrial settings.We carried out the empirical study in two phases.In Phase 1, we conducted an online survey with the industry professionals and captured their experiences with the paradigm.In Phase 2, we solicited the opinions of domain experts by conducting focused interview sessions.The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data shows that the proposed paradigm is acceptable among IT professionals and could be adopted in the industry, provided certain challenges are addressed before adoption.
