Effective Memory Management for Mobile operating Systems
ABSTRACT:As technology is progress day by day, a person who is not using a mobile phone is hardly discovered nowadays because the mobile phone is a device which helps people to ease their tasks. As mobile phone users, much concern about the high quality and much user experience in mobile applications, the mobile application needs more memory. So it has to keep several processes in memory to improve CPU Utilization and the speed of its response to users. So memory management is a key issue for mobile operating systems (OS). Mainly its memory is limited and not expandable, and efficient memory management is the only solution for these problems. Mostly when the memory is not enough to run the applications, mobile phones get stuck. So mobile operating systems use different techniques to manage memory in a proper way. In most of these techniques involved with terminating of applications forcefully when the device runs in low memory. But it does not consider whether it is a more usable application or an application that takes more time to launch. It is the most common issue in the OSs.There are many types of studies, various applications and approaches have been proposed in achieving the optimized use of memory in the mobile operating system. Still, there is no complete solution for this issue

A Study on Smartphone based Operating System
International Journal of Computer Applications, 2015
At present there are many mobile phones operating systems available in the market but mobile phones with android OS have now become domestic product which was once extravagant product. The reason towards this change is attributed to its varied functionality, ease of use and utility. There are number of tasks performed on it like making call, sending or receiving SMS, music, billing, online shopping, online booking, playing games, web browsing, using different apps like whatsapp, facebook or Applock etc. Hence a large amount of user sensitive data is stored within the devices [1]. Increased usage of smartphone has led towards higher concerns about security of user-private data. Due to android as an open source mobile platform, user can easily install third party applications from markets and even from unreliable sources [2]. Thus, Android devices are a soft target for privacy intrusion. Whenever the user wants to install any application, firstly it's the description and the application screenshots which provides an insight into its utility. The user reviews the description as well as a list of permission requests before its installation. As the types and rate of malicious attacks increases, the difficulty of examining in advance whether an app is malicious or not through its descriptions has increased manifolds. In this paper we have reviewed and examined android software stack

Design and Implementation of a Fine-grained Resource Usage Model for the Android Platform
2010
Android is among the new breed of smartphone software stacks. It is powerful yet friendly enough to be widely adopted by both the end users and the developer community. This adoption has led to the creation of a large number of thirdparty applications that run on top of the software stack accessing device resources and data. Users installing third party applications are provided information about which resources an application might use but have no way of restricting access to these resources if they wish to use the application. All permissions have to be granted or the application fails to install. In this paper, we present a fine-grained usage control model for Android that allows users to specify exactly what resources an application should be allowed access to. These decisions might be based on runtime constraints such as time of day or location of the device or on application attributes such as the number of SMSs already sent by the application. We give details of our implementation and describe an extended installer that provides an easy-to-use interface to the users for setting their policies. Our architecture only requires a minimal change to the existing code base and is thus compatible with the existing security mechanism. As a result, it has a high potential for adoption by the Android community at large.
