Overview Smart Phone is an emerged technology that supports Java program execution and provides both short-range wireless connectivity (Bluetooth/IrDA) and Internet connectivity (GPRS/3G). Although these phones are closed systems with limited resources, it is believed that a multitude of distributed applications in which Smart Phones act as peers in ad hoc networks can be developed. To realize the potential, there is a need for a middleware that supports such applications and a systematic study of the communication/computation trade-offs. This paper describes Split Smart Messages, a middleware based on execution migration, which to the best of the authors' knowledge is the first middleware for distributed computing over Smart Phones.
