Abstract

Mobile computing needs new designs in applications that can adapt to network performance. Dynamic application partitioning is a potential useful technique in developing mobile applications. This paper describes the case study of the design of an email application that aims to partition dynamically according to the wireless network environment. It also discusses the mobile computing research work at the University of Waterloo and the future development of a load-balancing scheme for partitioning applications in the mobile environment.
