Abstract

The usage of smartphones has increased hastily over the past few years. The number of smartphones being sold is much more than the number of PC’s due to the smartphone’s mobile nature and good connectivity. However, they are still constrained by limited processing power, memory, and Battery. In this paper, we propose a framework for making the applications of these smartphones autonomous enough, to offload their compute intensive parts automatically from the smartphone to the virtual image of the smartphones on the cloud, thus using the unlimited resources of the cloud and enhancing the performance of the smartphones. By using this framework the application developers will be able to increase the capabilities of the smartphones making them even more feature rich.
