Thrift: optimizing performance in complex mobile internet applications with network coding

复杂互联网应用的用户，如增强现实导航，已经变得越来越移动，使用各种各样的移动设备，包括智能手机、平板电脑和超便携式笔记本电脑。这些应用程序需要来自公共或企业云计算平台的服务，以便共享应用程序数据、跨会话保持应用程序状态持久化以及与其他用户协作。随着用户对这些应用程序的功能要求越来越复杂，随着存储和通信的负担转移到云端，需要对云计算和互联网通信协议进行集成设计，以满足用户对性能的期望。本研究的目标是设计新的算法和协议，以优化移动互联网应用程序的性能，并结合新的移动互联网应用程序的延展性和云计算平台中数据中心丰富的存储和计算能力的可用性。

Users of complex Internet applications, such as navigation with augmented reality, have become increasingly mobile, using a wide range of mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, and ultraportable notebook computers. These applications require services from public or enterprise cloud computing platforms, in order to share application data, keep application states persistent across sessions, and collaborate with other users. As users demand more complex functionality from these applications, and as the burden of storage and communication is shifted to the cloud, an integrated design of both cloud computing and Internet communication protocols is required in order to meet user expectations on performance. The objective of this research is to design new algorithms and protocols that are optimized for performance in mobile Internet applications, and that combine the malleability of new mobile Internet applications and the availability of abundant storage and computation power in data centres in cloud computing platforms.
