8. Roadmap of project:  By midterm:  Have TunnelDroid and OpenVPN client successfully installed and running on Android phone.  Research programming on the Android OS.  Research installation of these products on the Android phone.  Successfully install the software.  Have OpenVPN server set up in the cloud.  Gain access to the cloud and have our own server set up there.  Research installation process of installing the OpenVPN server.  Install and configure OpenVPN on the server for use with the Android phone.  By final:  Use the Android phone and be able to connect via VPN to the cloud using TunnelDroid and OpenVPN software.  Research, troubleshoot, and debug.

9.  Novel Aspects of this Project  The ability to use your Android device in the cloud.  The ability to easily share (very large) files between users.  Large computational tasks can be carried out on the cloud (rather than mobile device).  The ability to backup/restore files from and images of mobile devices.  Risks and Challenges  “Bricking” the mobile device while attempting to install/configure new software on it.  Working with technology, operating systems, and environments with which we are not very familiar.  Potential Applications and Benefits  Can be used on any Android powered mobile device.  Provides more power and accessibility to/for users by way of the cloud.
