Abstract
Information and Communication Technologies are used in almost every activity sector. With the adoption and proliferation of such technologies in mobile devices, a complex and major growth of mobile applications is observed.
Hardware manufacturers are keen on perfecting their components. Such perfectioning is done with the intent of improving component and equipment’s performance indexes.
Mobile computing has been undergoing constant improvements as far as processing, storage and autonomy are concerned. However, there remain multiple challenges associated with mobile devices. This document will be focusing essentially on the challenges presented by the processing power and autonomy constraints.
In order to minimize the problems presented by the processing power and autonomy constraints, a model is presented which aims to minimize the processing requirements and increase the autonomy of mobile devices.
In more detail, the benefits of the utilization of a distributed event driven notification system will be studied. Since some of the processing will be shifting from mobile devices towards workstations, an efficient communication and control logic is mandatory. In order to achieve this, a text-based communication protocol is used.
With this model, mobile applications avoid engaging in computing intensive tasks.
