Towards an Elastic Application Model for Augmenting Computing Capabilities of Mobile Platforms

We propose a new elastic application model that enables the seamless and transparent use of cloud resources to augment the capability of resourceconstrained mobile devices. The salient features of this model include the partition of a single application into multiple components called weblets, and a dynamic adaptation of weblet execution configuration. While a weblet can be platform independent (e.g., Java or .Net bytecode or Python script) or platform dependent (native code), its execution location is transparent
