How to be a successful app developer: lessons from the simulation of an app ecosystem
Soo Ling Lim, Peter J. Bentley
Abstract
App developers are constantly competing against each other to win more downloads for their apps. With hundreds of thousands of apps in these online stores, what strategy should a developer use to be successful? Should they innovate, make many similar apps, optimize their own apps or just copy the apps of others? Looking more deeply, how does a complex app ecosystem perform when developers choose to use different strategies? This paper investigates these questions using AppEco, the first Artificial Life model of mobile application ecosystems. In AppEco, developer agents build and upload apps to the app store; user agents browse the store and download the apps. A distinguishing feature of AppEco is the explicit modelling of apps as artefacts. In this work we use AppEco to simulate Apple's iOS app ecosystem and investigate common developer strategies, evaluating them in terms of downloads received, app diversity, and adoption rate.

Errado
Comentário do professor
A alternativa está correta: a palavra rate funciona aqui como um substantivo que significa medida ou taxa.
No trecho, adoption rate aparece em série com “downloads received” e “app diversity”, todas expressões nominais, o que confirma sua função sintática como substantivo. Semanticamente indica a proporção ou frequência de adoção de um app, isto é, uma medida do quanto os usuários passam a usar o aplicativo.
Sinônimos contextualizados são “taxa”, “percentual” ou “proporção”. Exemplos: “birth rate” = taxa de natalidade; “error rate” = taxa de erro; “adoption rate” = taxa de adoção.
Gramaticalmente, trata‑se de um substantivo contável/medidor que admite modificadores como “high/low” ou determinantes (“the adoption rate”).
