Applying MVC and PAC patterns in mobile applications

Additional requirements are set for mobile applications in relation to applications for desktop computers. These requirements primarily concern the support to different platforms on which such applications are performed, as well as the requirement for providing more modalities of input/output interaction. These requirements have influence on the user interface and therefore it is needed to consider the usability of MVC (Model-View-Controller) and PAC (Presentation-Abstraction-Control) design patterns for the separation of the user interface tasks from the business logic, specifically in mobile applications. One of the questions is making certain choices of design patterns for certain classes of mobile applications. When using these patterns the possibilities of user interface automatic transformation should be kept in mind. Although the MVC design pattern is widely used in mobile applications, it is not universal, especially in cases where there are requirements for heterogeneous multi-modal input-output interactions.
