Abstract:
The availability of mobile devices is growing at an incredible pace. This trend has set a need for applications being available at anytime, anywhere, and on any device. As most mobile users carry their device at all times, being truly mobile provides users an unprecedented freedom. Nevertheless the clear advantages, application developers are facing challenges due to device fragmentation. Current application development solutions are insufficiently prepared for the high variety of mobile platforms and hardware characteristics. In this paper we propose a platform for the development and delivery of adaptive mobile applications. An adaptive application composition approach is introduced, capable of autonomously bypassing fragmentation related issues. This goal is achieved by incorporating fine-grained progressive application enhancements through a quantitative evaluation strategy.
