I want a ppt on seminar topic "Android as a server platform"
Here is the abstract of the topic:
Abstract:
The number of smartphone users and mobile applications are growing rapidly. Though smartphones are expected to have PC-like functionality, hardware resources such as CPUs, memory and batteries are still limited. To solve this resource problem, many researches have proposed architectures to use server resources in the cloud for mobile devices. We propose a conceptual architecture of Android as a Server Platform, which enables multiple user Android applications on cloud server via network. Though Android is mainly designed for physical smartphone, Android's two other features are useful to construct a server platform. Android is open-source product and runs on an ×86 CPU. We show three types of multi-tenant architecture for an Android server platform and discuss the direction to take to it reality.
The architecture for remotely using mobile application on server is called Mobile Application Platform on Cloud Server that intends to handle not only user data but also user applications in a cloud server. This approach changes the application lifecycle as follows. "Write once, run everywhere. Install once, use everywhere."
Android is an open-source mobile OS initiated by Google. The main reason to select Android as a server platform is that it is able to run not only for Smartphone but also for x86 processor.
Multi-tenancy, this is defined as a feature where the software running on a server provides services to many users. It is one of the important features for cloud computing. From the viewpoint of both economy and ecology, it is beneficial to share hardware resources among users. Using a mobile OS would be more effective than using a desktop OS because the resource requirements of mobile OSs are smaller.
