A framework for executing android applications on the cloud

Today we see Smartphone's everywhere which run different kinds of applications. This has made life of the user easier as many things are available with just a click. However many applications are unable to execute efficiently or provide high-end features due to shortage of resources for computation, data storage and battery capacity of the device. We present a framework designed for speeding up the computational tasks which require heavy resources. For this we propose a cloud based virtualised execution environment which can store the data in a secure manner. This framework shall execute Android applications using an Android Emulator. Hence this framework will aid an android developer in using the power of the cloud yet not being required to build web services and manage the cloud.
