“…To achieve a high level of user satisfaction, developers focus on improving both the functional and non-functional characteristics of mobile applications [1], [2], [3], [13], [15], [16]. Apart from fatal issues with functionality, such as application crashes [3], non-functional performance characteristics also shape users' perception [1].…”

“…Apart from fatal issues with functionality, such as application crashes [3], non-functional performance characteristics also shape users' perception [1]. Non-functional performance characteristics are the first characteristics to, potentially adversely, affect users [15] and can lead to application uninstallations [2]. In the following, we describe functional and non-functional characteristics of mobile applications that can affect user experience.…”

“…With such a high number of applications, 75% of mobile device usage is filled by mobile applications [5]. While several studies show the importance of fixing software bugs that hinder applications' smooth function [9], [10], [11], [12], nonfunctional performance characteristics have shown to have a strong impact on user satisfaction as well [1], [2], [3], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]. This impact can be seen in the user reviews of real-world mobile applications:…”

To ensure user satisfaction and success of mobile applications, it is important to provide highly performant applications. This is particularly important for resource-constrained systems such as mobile devices. Thereby, non-functional performance characteristics, such as energy and memory consumption, play an important role for user satisfaction. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of non-functional performance optimization for Android applications. We collected 156 unique publications, published between 2008 and 2020, that focus on the optimization of performance of mobile applications. We target our search at four performance characteristics: responsiveness, launch time, memory and energy consumption. For each performance characteristic, we categorize optimization approaches based on the method used in the corresponding publications. Furthermore, we identify research gaps in the literature for future work.

“…Kim et al [10] proposed several hardware optimizations according to the application usage pattern and show that Nonvolatile memory (NVM) can speed up the start time of an application. In general android has a process called "Zygote" that provides share memory space for different application to share the same libraries, reducing the need to load the repeated libraries.…”

Nowadays Mobile phones are becoming more popular in our daily lives. Mobile technology has a great effect on human life. Our daily tasks are dependent on mobile devices. Memory Management (MM), Security and Performance plays an important role in every handheld device specially in mobile phones, which are very much dependent on their operating system (OS). These embedded operating systems are on the driving seat when we talk about efficient and useful memory management and secure handling. Three popular OS in mobile phones are Android, Windows and iOS (iPhone OS). Each OS has its own way of managing the memory and provide it to certain number of applications. Android is an open software available for the people to modify as per their needs. But Windows and iOS operating systems didn"t allow their software as open source. Researchers have done a large amount of work using different mechanisms and decision makings to develop new ways to manage the memory of these OS"s. This work shows a comparative analysis of different memory management and security related techniques in above three operating systems. In this paper, we present the analysis of memory management and security in mobile phone operating systems with respect to apps, main memory, cache memory and virtual memory. Also, we compare the overall performance of these OS"s in terms of MM, security concerns. This study will help in finding better operating system in terms of efficient memory management and security.

“…However, the end user with imperfect security awareness poses a serious threat to the sensitive information [8−11] . According to a survey [12] , more than 70 percent of end users do not care about the permission declaration when an app is installed, which leaks permissions to the apps of excessive permissions. These permissions that should not have been requested may be used to obtain sensitive information [13−16] .…”
