Due to the convergence of various mobile access technologies like UMTS, WLAN, and WiMax the need for a new supporting infrastructure arises. This infrastructure should be able to support more efficient ways to authenticate users and…

Virtualization technologies allow multiple tenants to share physical resources with a degree of security and isolation that cannot be guaranteed by mere containerization. Further, virtualization allows protected transparent introspection of…

Virtualization is a key building block of next-generation mobile networks. It can be implemented through two main approaches: traditional virtual machines and lighter-weight containers. Our objective in this paper is to compare these…

We introduce AndroidEnv, an open-source platform for Reinforcement Learning (RL) research built on top of the Android ecosystem. AndroidEnv allows RL agents to interact with a wide variety of apps and services commonly used by humans…

The impressive growth of smartphone devices in combination with the rising ubiquity of using mobile platforms for sensitive applications such as Internet banking, have triggered a rapid increase in mobile malware. In recent literature, many…

In this article, we explore various parallel and distributed computing topics from a user-centric software engineering perspective. Specifically, in the context of mobile application development, we study the basic building blocks of…

Cloud robotics has emerged as a promising technology for robotics applications due to its advantages of offloading computationally intensive tasks, facilitating data sharing, and enhancing robot coordination. However, integrating cloud…

This paper introduces the idea of mining container image repositories for configuration and other deployment information of software systems. Unlike traditional software repositories (e.g., source code repositories and app stores), image…

With millions of apps that can be downloaded from official or third-party market, Android has become one of the most popular mobile platforms today. These apps help people in all kinds of ways and thus have access to lots of user's data…

Smartphones have become popular in recent days due to the accessibility of a wide range of applications. These sophisticated applications demand more computing resources in a resource constraint smartphone. Cloud computing is the motivating…

Mobile smartphones compactly provide sensors such as cameras, IMUs, GNSS measurement units, and wireless and wired communication channels required for robotics projects. They are affordable, portable, and programmable, which makes them…

In the context of Industry 4.0, more and more mobile use cases are appearing on industrial factory floors. These use cases place high demands on various quantitative requirements, such as latency, availability, and more. In addition,…

With the recent increase in the computational power of modern mobile devices, machine learning-based heavy tasks such as face detection and speech recognition are now integral parts of such devices. This requires frameworks to execute…

Scalable and comprehensive analysis of rapidly evolving mobile device application traffic is extremely important but a challenging problem for the Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engines to perform effective policy management. We present a…

Mobile agent technology offers a dramatically evolving computing paradigm in which a program, in the form of a software agent, can suspend its execution on a host computer, transfers itself to another agent-enabled host on the network, and…

Mobile devices encroach on almost every part of our lives, including work and leisure, and contain a wealth of personal and sensitive information. It is, therefore, imperative that these devices uphold high security standards. A key aspect…

Virtualization started to gain traction in the domain of information technology in the early 2000s when managing resource distribution was becoming an uphill task for developers. As a result, tools like VMWare, Hyper V (hypervisor) started…

Cloud computing is a new model of computing which provides scalability, flexibility and on-demand service. Virtualization is one of the main components of the cloud, but unfortunately, this technology suffers from many security…

Inter-app communication is a mandatory and security-critical functionality of operating systems, such as Android. On the application level, Android implements this facility through Intents, which can also transfer non-primitive objects…

The cloud computing landscape has evolved significantly in recent years, embracing various sandboxes to meet the diverse demands of modern cloud applications. These sandboxes encompass container-based technologies like Docker and gVisor,…
