Mobile devices are ubiquitous but their resources are limited. However, they must be capable to run computationally intensive software, for example for image stitching, face recognition, and simulation-based artificial intelligence. As a solution, mobile devices can use nearby resources to offload computation. Distributed computing environments provide such features but ignore the nature of mobile...
Cloud storage usages are becoming increasingly popular on mobile devices. Through an extensive motivation study, we find that cloud storage accesses from mobile apps suffer from several notable problems that undermine usage experiences. The root cause is that the way of cloud storage providers deploying their services onto mobile devices relies on app developers for the correct and appropriate implementations...
In the latest years, we observed an exponential growth of the market of the mobile devices. In this scenario, it assumes a particular relevance the rate at which mobile devices are replaced. According to the International Telecommunicaton Union in fact, smart-phone owners replace their device every 20 months, on average. The side effect of this trend is to deal with the disposal of an increasing amount...
Energy efficiency in mobile computing is one of the most challenges and especially in the wireless data transmission involved in mobile applications. It have attracted much attention from mobile device manufacturers, OS provider's, mobile application programmers and as well network operators. There are many “areas” where such energy improvement can be made but at some extra costs from other side....
Ensuring that mobile device applications are free from bugs is difficult. The difficulty stems, in part, from the unpredictability inherent in the use of multiple mobile networks. Testers typically design and run tests to discover bugs, modify the software and then re-run the test to demonstrate the bug's absence. However, when using wireless networks, it is difficult to recreate the original operating...
NFC, similar to RFID, is a contactless identification technology that has gained widespread adoption in application domains such as contactless transactions, micropayments, identity management and mobile health IDs etc. However, the NFC standard itself does not provide built-in security features. This means that each and every developer would need to implement security features in his NFC application...
Today's computationally able mobile devices are capable of acting as service providers as opposed to their traditional role as consumers. To address the challenges associated with the development of these mobile services, we have developed Odin, a middleware which masks complexity, allowing rapid development of mobile services. Odin, however, does not allow cross-platform development, which is an...
Digital Video Content is now pervasive and services like IPTV are gaining traction on hand held devices too. Android, a software platform from Google, pioneering middleware and applications for handheld devices does not offer support for content management services by design. Motivated by these observations, we propose an aggregate model software platform to offer content management and value added...
