Abstract
Smartphones are nowadays ubiquitous. Smartphone owners are using mobile applications as a replacer for desktop applications. Due to the limited resources and due to the challenge of being a real replacer for personal computers, mobile devices should be able to run applications that are distributing their tasks for execution into the cloud. The present paper proposes a pervasive framework that combines the mobility of smartphone applications and the execution capabilities of the cloud. Cloud distribution reduces the mobile phone power consumption and also improves the execution of long running tasks. By using the AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming), the distribution into the cloud is transparent to the application developer. The proposed framework proves itself as a viable solution for implementing mobile applications that could distribute themselves into the cloud in order to improve users’ experience.
