There are scenarios in mobile computing that may
benefit from separating presentation from computation.
Traditionally this separation can be achieved
via tools such as VNC. However such factors as network
latency and additional communication overhead
can slow down the presentation of a remotely executing
mobile application below acceptable performance
levels, especially for domains like gaming where responses
may need to appear to be instantaneous. We
present RemoteMe, an architecture and Java-based
prototype for mobile-client / server communication
that only requires a very thin mobile client. We hypothesise
that RemoteMe will support faster response
times to user input than existing software solutions
such as VNC. This paper presents a preliminary analysis
of our first prototype, and experimentally compares
it to an open-source mobile-based VNC system. |
