A Communication Channels Dynamic Switching Model for Always-Connected Availability of Service Oriented Mobile Applications

In the current technological landscape, companies face problems associated with the development of mobile applications and rapid integration with their enterprise systems to ensure the availability of value-added services for its customers in pervasive environment. To fill this gap, a generic model for dynamic switching of communication channels to ensure the principles of transparency in distributed environments is proposed, by: (1) designing an interchangeable communication layer for mobile applications, (2) ensuring the transparency of the communication channels, (3) proposing a framework for the development of mobile applications in distributed environment to guarantee the mentioned above communication transparency.
