ABSTRACT
As sales of mobile devices grow and smartphones and tablets become for many the preferred way of interacting with the Internet, social media and the enterprise, organizations are striving to push content and functionality out to mobile users. However, mobile devices still do not have the computing power and battery life that will allow them to perform effectively. This keynote explores current and future options for mobile devices to leverage edge networks and servers to extend their computing power and battery life, along with the software engineering challenges and opportunities that this movement brings.
