Mobile Cloud Application Models Facilitated by the CPA

Abstract

This paper describes implementations of two mobile cloud applications, file synchronisation and intensive data processing, using the Context Aware Mobile Cloud Services middleware, and the Cloud Personal Assistant. Both are part of the same mobile cloud project, actively developed and currently at the second version. We describe recent changes to the middleware, along with our experimental results of the two application models. We discuss challenges faced during the development of the middleware and their implications. The paper includes performance analysis of the CPA support for the two applications in respect to existing solutions.
