Mobile computing has grown to be one of the most prevalent forms of computing; used by millions of users across the world. Mobile computing has changed the way we interact with computing devices, and each other. However, mobile devices are still resource-scarce; they contain less powerful processors, energy-constraints, low memory, and spotty network connection as compared to dedicated computing terminals such as a Personal Computer. While mobile devices as a whole remain constrained, individual device lines have varying levels of resources and capabilities that make every device line different from the other device lines. With these constraints in mind, this paper attempts to offer a feature-rich, resource-efficient middleware. This middleware, referred to as IMISSAR, offers context-awareness, an intelligent knowledge-base to handle errors, and, most importantly, automatic reconfiguration of applications; which allows the device to switch applications from executing locally, to executing remotely. This paper goes through the operation and design of this middleware, presenting a feature model, and design specifications.
