Abstract

Limited resources of battery-operated mobile devices are a major obstacle for mobile applications. An obvious solution to this limitation is to leverage cloud computing, which offers virtually infinite resources on demand through the virtualization of physically distributed computing resources. A mobile device could offload a resource-intensive application to the cloud and support thin client interaction with the application over the Internet. As such, cloud computing enhances the computing capability of mobile devices, as well as saving energy of mobile devices. In this paper, therefore, we propose a framework supporting the seamless execution of mobile applications on the cloud. In particular, the novel aspect of our approach is that a mobile cloud application, itself, is treated as data, so it can be replicated within the cloud, thus being able to reduce both latency and energy consumption of the communication. This paper is a work-in-progress report of our research.
