Mobile application, mobile service, network analysisAbstract
The mobile service industry has recently moved into a new epoch due to the explosive growth in mobile application services available at “App Storesâ€. This research empirically analyzes the interrelationships among the mobile application services to characterize their structures and identify local positions. Particularly, this paper develops mobile application service network through a text-mining based network analysis using the descriptions posted in App Store to visualize inter-service relationships and gauge structural and positional properties. It can be helpful to understand the relationships and sectoral characteristics of mobile services in terms of contents and functionalities in App Store.
