Description

Mobile devices tend to be a synonym of variety. Variety both in hard- ware capabilities and software act as restrictions to software development and deployment. Other restrictions arise from their condition of mobility, environ- mental conditions such as bandwidth, coverage availability, lighting and avail- ability of services. In that perspective, this work intends to explore the possibility of a model of application deployment and execution that minimizes these issues - software gets pushed through an infrastructure and interaction between the user and the application is expected to have a behaviour between these two modes: purely client based and purely online based
