Aplicação de uma arquitetura baseada em proxy para apoio a comunicação e processamento de informações em sistemas móveis

Abstract

Applications for mobile devices are increasingly used in today's world as a means to deal with personal and organizational information. Often, the use of such applications occurs in environments such as a local area network with greater computational capabilities and communication compared to mobile devices. This work supports the hypothesis that a computational resources of idle computers can be used for the benefit of mobile devices. To this end, we present a model of distributed system in which computers on a local network play the role of proxies between mobile clients and server applications, performing some processing assigned to the application in order to contribute to their overall performance. To evaluate the proposal it was developed and used a prototype of a mobile application that supports home care medical services. The obtained results were satisfactory and demonstrated the feasibility of the proposal.
