Extract

With the processing power available on modern mobile devices, it becomes increasingly interesting to harvest this power for distributed computations. In this context, we developed a programming framework based on Scala actors that runs on the Android operating system. This framework enables the distribution of an application consisting of communicating actors among multiple devices such as mobile phones or tablet PCs. Through two different experiments, we demonstrate that the flexibility of Scala actors is a major advantage in terms of development of the framework but also in its usage thanks to various Scala constructs such as functional programming and pattern matching.
