Abstract:
Smart mobile devices are pervasive in our life. It has been
forecasted that the number of smart mobile devices could reach 10
billions globally by the year of 2018. Along with the explosive
increase in the use of mobile devices, there is also rapid growth of
the mobile data traffic. Due to the wide use of mobile devices, it is
important to manage the performance of mobile devices. In this talk, I
will talk about the challenges that a cellular service carrier faces in
managing smartphone performance and the novel (and yet practical)
techniques and systems that have been created to effectively address
those challenges.
