Article: Cloudifying User-Created Applications in Mobile Devices

Published by: AriTurunen Last modified: 2011.11.01
Currently users own and use many networkconnected
devices such as laptop, smartphone, or tablet. The
user creates content using the default applications in these devices. One approach is to share and ubiquitously access the contents through a social media. Nevertheless, the contents residing in these devices should be available from anywhere, without any explicit user activity; even the contents residing in a remote location should also appear to be locally available in the operating device. With this approach we believe a user’s content gets cloudified, while still remaining operable with the existing applications. In this paper we propose to cloudify a user’s content in all her mobile devices.

We present a middleware that allows a user to uniformly use the existing applications on local as well as remote content, and to also share the contents in a controlled way. The middleware hides all network activity to the user; it also makes the applications almost unaware while operating on a content residing in a remote location. To evaluate our approach in a mobile device context, we also present the efficiency measures of the
middleware in terms of latency in content-retrieval, as well as
in terms of resource usage viz. power consumption.
