In the recent years, advances in mobile computing have transformed society’s perspective regarding mobile devices such as smartphones. Consequently, a large percentage of the world’s population has been influenced by the smartphone’s ability to perform operations that were typically limited to general purpose computers. Since, the current development of mobile computing exhibits attributes similar to general purpose computing; the smartphone provides a limited but convenient and mobile solution to general purpose computing that fits in the palm of a user’s hand. In result, by the end of 2013, statistics revealed that 56% of American adults own either an Android or iOS smartphone. Due to the increasing popularity of smartphones, the research community has devoted more time in optimizing mobile computing. Naturally, with any mobile device, the battery capacity determines the duration of usage. In fact, a 2013 survey expressed that 71% of 3500 smartphone users in the US, UK, Germany and UAE, desired a long lasting battery. As a solution to the above stated problem, this thesis presents the design and implementation of a prototype “ASMT”. The ASMT is a light-weight solution that seamlessly migrates the states of active applications between a smartphone and an Android Virtual Machine (VM) located on a desktop for energy savings. This technique extends Android’s NDEF protocol as well as its NFC service to minimize the performance impact. In conclusion, this thesis verified that the ASMT maintained a small performance footprint. Meanwhile, external work demonstrated that this technique on a smartphone produced a minimum of 12% energy savings and 64.4% on average.
