This project develops Perpetuum Mobile, a unified framework that unburdens mobile developers from using dissimilar, low-level programming interfaces to access external resources required for the efficient execution of emerging mobile applications. The ever increasing computational power of mobile devices is being surpassed by the even faster growing resource demands of mobile applications. These demands can be effectively fulfilled by using distributed resources, provided by cloud servers, desktop computers, or other mobile devices. However, existing approaches for accessing the external resources fail to provide a unified and uniform avenue for integrating heterogeneous and pervasive resources with emerging mobile applications. Mobile developers have no choice but to use dissimilar programming interfaces and protocols through software abstractions that cannot effectively meet the requirements of mobile users and developers as well as device owners and administrators. To address this problem, Perpetuum Mobile selects devices that best satisfy the requirements, deploys the external resources on any selected network-connected device on-demand, and provides a uniform access to the resources.The ultimate technical objective of this project is to make it as straightforward, efficient, reliable, and secure for mobile applications to access the resources hosted by any network-connected device as it is currently to access standard web services. To meet the execution requirements of mobile applications, Perpetuum Mobile evolves the microservices pattern: it carefully curates microservices and deploys them at runtime by using a new software infrastructure component that combines features of mobile application markets and service repositories. It further identifies the most suitable service-providing device efficiently by applying a lattice model for expressing requirements, and a weighted distance based selection heuristic. Finally, this project identifies and seeks solutions for the security and privacy problems that threaten the safety of the developed execution model. By providing seemingly unlimited resources, the technologies created under the auspices of this project will form the foundation for the next generation of mobile, IoT, and wearable applications. The project will recruit a diverse group of participants, while making the created technologies publicly available for adoption, training, and experimentation.

该项目开发Perpetuum移动的，一个统一的框架，减轻了移动的开发人员使用不同的，低层次的编程接口访问外部资源所需的新兴移动的应用程序的有效执行。移动的设备的不断增长的计算能力正被移动的应用的甚至更快增长的资源需求所超越。这些需求可以通过使用由云服务器、台式计算机或其他移动的设备提供的分布式资源来有效地满足。然而，现有的访问外部资源的方法未能提供一个统一的和统一的途径，集成异构和普及的资源与新兴的移动的应用。移动的开发人员别无选择，只能通过无法有效满足移动的用户和开发人员以及设备所有者和管理员的需求的软件抽象来使用不同的编程接口和协议。为了解决这个问题，Perpetuum移动的选择最符合要求的设备，按需在任何选定的联网设备上部署外部资源，并提供对资源的统一访问。该项目的最终技术目标是使其变得简单，高效，可靠，并且对于移动的应用访问由任何网络连接设备托管的资源是安全的，就像它当前访问标准web服务一样。为了满足移动的应用程序的执行需求，Perpetuum移动的发展了微服务模式：它仔细策划微服务，并通过使用新的软件基础设施组件在运行时部署它们，该组件结合了移动的应用程序市场和服务存储库的功能。它进一步确定最合适的服务提供设备有效地通过应用格模型表达的要求，和加权距离为基础的选择启发式。最后，该项目确定并寻求解决方案的安全和隐私问题，威胁到安全的开发执行模型。通过提供看似无限的资源，在该项目主持下创建的技术将成为下一代移动的、物联网和可穿戴应用的基础。该项目将招募不同的参与者，同时将所创建的技术公开用于采用，培训和实验。
