ANDROID AS A SERVER PLATFORM ON CLOUD COMPUTING SONA COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY SUBMITTED BY: NAGADEVI PRIYA.G DIVYA PURNIMA.S.S

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Since, nowadays Smartphone’s are expected to have PC- like functionalities,hardware resources such as CPU’s, memory and battery are still limited. To solve this researchers proposed architectures to use Cloud server resource for mobile. We propose a conceptual architecture of Android as a server platform, which enables multiple user Android applications on cloud server via network. We show three types of multi-tenant architectures for an Android server platform and dicuss the direction to it to reality.

DEFINITION “Cloud computing is an emerging computing technology that uses the internet and centre remote servers to maintain data and applications”

ORIGIN: The underlying concept of cloud computing dates back to 1960, when John McCarthy opened that “computation may someday be organised as a public utility”, indeed it shares characteristics with service bureaus that date To the 1960’s. INTRODUCTION: The number of Smartphone users and mobile applications are growing rapidly. There are several types of Mobile Operating System ( OSS ), such as symbian, I OS, windows mobile. Android is an open-source mobile OS initiated by Google. The main reason to use Android as a server is that it is able to run not only for Smartphone’s but also for the x86 platform including servers.

LAYERS OF MOBILE OS: o CLIENT o SOFTWARE o PLATFORM o INFRASTRUCTURE o SERVER MOTIVATION: Mobile Application platform as a cloud server Multi-tenancy for Android RELATED WORK: The outline in allowing the mobile users to seamlessly use nearby Computers to obtain cloud computing resources by instantiating a “cloudlet” that rapidly synthesizes virtual machines on a nearby Infrastructure by using a wireless LAN.

MULTI-TENANCY: The multi-tenancy has recognized five features of a multi-tenant platform, namely Performance, Scalability, Security, Zero-downtime and Maintenance, to prevent nightmare. ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD COMPUTING : Extra memory Data loss is low Depending on data transfer speed of OS,rate of cloud computing is high.

DISADVANTAGE: Continuous net connection is very important. Thus, battery life will be less. But due to the advancement, battery life can be increased and it can be well Used according to the need of users. CONCLUSION: In this paper, we proposed Android as a Server Platform system which enables the server-side Android OS among multiple users and helps to use applications without installation. BOTTOM LINE: “Cloud computing is a simple idea, but can have a huge impact on your business”
