Performance Evaluation Using J2ME with Android over Cloud Services: A Simulation Approach

Proposed paper is concerned with two mobile development environments i.e. J2ME and Android which were further implemented . Through platform performance behaviour comparison, the different environments are examine d closely with strengths and weaknesses which were evaluated further . In both environments experimental applications are written to compare with the environments in action on particular devices. Environment specific deployment files are created in J2ME wit h enhanced feature of Connected D evice C onfiguration (CDC ) a nd Connected L im ited Device C onfiguration (CLDC) . MIDlet and Android are used . Other file and Image files are store d on cloud . They are used through cloud services on any handheld device and mobi le. Different key areas such as implementa tion aspects, memory aspects, execution time and response time are compare d to give an in depth overview of t he status of the two platforms. R esults revealed that although the two environments are similar in some a spects but still represent two distinctive fields each with their individual property. Through our code examples and platform comparison Android platform s are suitable for use for high cost devices . While J2ME use for low cost mobile de vices because J2ME i s open source technology use free application and provide cloud service facility
