Abstract
Owing to the latest technologies in wireless communication and the development of mobile devices, related issues in mobile computing are becoming more and more concerned [1-2]. However, it is challenging to run very complex applications on the mobile devices because of the strict constraints on their resources such as memory capacity, network bandwidth, CPU speed and battery power [3].
