Smart Phones - Future Devices, Usages and Applications

The authors are in the middle of a mobile computing revolution, perhaps as significant as the revolution in the 1980s which defined the personal computer. Today, smart phones are providing them with an unprecedented opportunity to innovate in terms of the platform design, its use, and the applications they expect it to support. This paper examines smart phone design opportunities around sensing to support context aware operation; composability, enabling resource sharing to overcome platform limitations; and VM migration, to optimize processing performance while maintaining seamless operation.
