The document proposes the AASMP (Android Application Server for Mobile Platforms) system. AASMP aims to deploy Android applications on a server to eliminate the need for plugins on clients. It enhances an existing ACES system using XHTML5 and a Remote Display Architecture (RDA) to render Android apps in a browser without plugins. AASMP addresses limitations of mobile platforms like varying systems/restrictions by offloading app execution and resources to more powerful server-side environments while maintaining responsiveness through techniques like web sockets. Future work areas include supporting more device types, application migration, and data compression.

13. Conclusion
• Addresses the development of AASMP
• AASMP eliminates installation of plugins
• On server-side, AASMP offloads the execution of
Android applications to a more powerful environment,
• It lays the foundation for developing applications or
services which are provided with the resources normally
limited on mobile platforms

14. Future Works
• To support more devices such as cameras, etc.
• Android app to access remote service on server side
• Re-establishing the connection when the connection with
the client is lost
• To adapt data compression algorithm
• Supporting application migration
