Web based application program management framework in multi-device environments for personal cloud computing

Abstract

Recently, various researchers focus on cloud computing services to be personally provided to service users as a mobile device is smarter. In order to facilitate providing this personal service, we propose a web based application program management (wAPM) framework in this paper. At first, we explain the architecture for the wAPM framework with its function block, and describe the process for managing various application programs installed in multi-devices of users based on the wAPM framework. Moreover, we implement an application, App Manager, using Android devices, and a web server, App Management Server, to manage application programs of registered users, which use the App Manager with their devices. Finally, we show the results from experiments with the implemented App Manager and App Management Server. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
