Abstract

The proliferation of increasingly powerful, ubiquitous mobile devices has created a new and powerful sensing and computational environment. Software development and application deployment in such distributed mobile settings is especially challenging due to issues of failures, concurrency, and lack of easy programming models. We present a framework which provides a powerful software abstraction that hides many of such complexities from the application developer. We design and implement a mobile MapReduce framework targeted at any device which supports Python and network connectivity. We have implemented our system on a testbed of Nokia N95 8GB smartphones and demonstrated the feasibility and performance of our approach.
