Abstract

Application mobilization has assumed importance given the proliferation of smartphones amongst the enterprise workforce, and other users. Existing techniques to mobilize applications incur high overheads in terms of time, cost, and effort. Remote computing is a promising basis for application mobilization that has the advantages of zero code rewriting, full functionality applications, and seamless IT manageability. However, it has the major disadvantage of presenting a cumbersome PC application view on the smartphone. In this context the present invention, referred to as *Mobile, is described to perform dynamic transformation of application views for smartphones. Significant performance gains may be achieved by using this system and methodology.
