Abstract
The growing rate of adoption of the pervasive computing paradigm
creates the problem of migrating large and computationally
intensive software applications to mobile devices. In addition,
this process is characterized by many constraints: different
conflicting protocols, variable and low bandwidth communication
links, wide variety of computing platforms, and limited form factors.
These and some other constraints render impossible the complete
binary level reuse of software applications, and complicate the
collaboration strategy of mobile deployment.
The proposed solution that is based on the real-time software process
interception mechanisms lies in the topology of heterogeneous
mobile agents. These agents robotically manipulate multiple,
simultaneous applications from a single pervasive computing device.
In order to demonstrate the idea a prototype was developed based
on the proposed theory and applied to real-world applications.
The obtained results show that it is feasible to use large and
computationally intensive software applications from mobile devices
without any programming and with guaranteed full binary level
reuse.
