Long Life Application dedicated to smart-* usage.

Abstract

Nowadays, mobile devices host many applications that are directly downloaded and installed from mobile application stores. The existence of such a large amount of apps for a myriad of purposes imposes a huge overhead on users, who are in charge of selecting, installing, and executing the appropiate apps, as well as deleting them when no longer needed.Moreover, these applications have mostly neglected to take into account the user¿s context, as they porpose static non-evolving scenarios. These applications serve for specific purposes and get deleted or forgotten most of the time after the first use. Furthermore, these apps fail to consider the, soon coming, connected world due to theri monolithic architecture implemented to work on single devices.
