Abstract
Mobile computing is changing the way society accesses information. People are using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to make transactions and consume data more and more each day. Driven by this kind of use, many companies and institutions are developing mobile versions of their information systems. But what should these companies and institutions consider when developing a mobile versions of its information systems? It is important to note that the mobile version is not the redesign or copy of all functionalities from the existing information system. Considering this scenario of mobile application development from existing web information systems, we proposed a process named Metamorphosis. This process provides a set of activities subdivided into four phases - requirements, design, development and deployment -, to assist in the creation of mobile applications from existing web information systems. Thus, this article aims to present a case study of the Metamorphosis process in the development of SIGEventos Mobile, a mobile version based on SIGEventos web information system, approaching the feasibility of the use of this process.
