Monitoring and Enhancement of Mobile System Performance

Abstract

Android operating system, since its first start, is growing very fast and takes a large space in smart devices market. It is built and developed on Linux and designed basically for touch screen devices such as, mobiles, tablets, etc. Mobile devices are markedly complicated and feature-rich; therefore they are prone to reliability of software and performance problems. Because of the small resources, smart devices, such as CPU, RAM, suffer from problems. One of these problems is Software Aging (SA). SA is recognized in long running OSs as a shortage in resources, performance retreating, and finally failure. SA is looked at from two sides, namely the poor response time of application which represents the end user side and the shortage in metrics related to device resources, such as RAM and storage. In this paper, a set of eight experiments is conducted to distinguish SA in Android mobiles. These experiments are conducted to find the correlation between Launch Time (LT) with RAM and storage metrics covered in this paper. Statistical methods, such as Mann Kendall test, Sen’s slope, Spearman rank correlation, and Design of Experiment (DOE) are used to prove the correlation statistically. These experiments assist to detect SA, which will be helpful in the rejuvenation strategy of applications.

Secure Location Privacy Transmitting Information on Cellular Networks

“…The JWT consists of three structures separated by the dots (.) as in the following [15,16]:  Header: There are two parts in the header. The first part is the token type, such as HMAC, and the second part is hashing algorithms such as SHA256.…”

Root Cause Analysis And Improvement In Windows System Based On Windows Performance Toolkit WPT

“…Logging records runtime information which is helpful for support engineers, administrators, and developers to analyze their systems to highlight its behaviors and root cause analysis [4]. Multiple papers on the analysis of Performance representing problem-align and highlight issues like Software Aging issues [5], [6], detecting malware attacks on the systems [7], overview on multiple processes on windows event logging environment [8], etc. Tom P. in Intel used windows tools for resources utilization to see if certain resources like CPU Usage whether 100% utilized or above the threshold values, WPT has been inducted to record and analyze the related metrics that impact the performance aspect [9].…”

Retrieving Mobile Phone Information Based on Digital Search Tree

“…Relatively very fast processors and storage units are used for mobile phones. However, they are still considered as slow when compared to the personal computers [1]. Consequently, for smart phones and mobile devices, the algorithms designed to run on desktop computers are not considered as good choice.…”
