An intelligent framework for mobile devices

The use of personal computing for internet access continues to grow and new applications and technologies continue to emerge. Mobile devices are starting to replace traditional computing devices (PCs and laptops) as client devices, and must support growing, changing and emerging applications and technologies. However, new developments give birth to new challenges. Mobile applications are not exempt from these challenges. The issues include lack of memory, processing capabilities and storage on a mobile device, the reliability of connections, lack of available bandwidth, and poor security for wireless and mobile networks. This paper investigates the issues related to mobile technology and proposes an intelligent framework to assist file transfers to and from mobile devices. This paper shows that applying the framework reduces the total communication overhead and memory footprint, and decreases the transfer times for files sent between a client (mobile device) and a server.
