Abstract

In this position paper, we propose the concept of , which enables web applications to offload workload using cloud-based web workers and cloud-based storage for mobile devices. Elastic HTML5 is a collection of software components and functions in for a web runtime agent (e.g., web browser); this includes components and methods to create and manage web workers in the cloud so as to augment the computation functionality of a browser-based application running on a device. Elastic HTML5 also includes the components and methods to create and manage elastic storage between the main thread of a web application and its web workers. With these functions, a web application can run in elastic manner such that, whenever necessary, the mobile device can obtain resources from the cloud, including computation and storage, and when necessary, it can run offline at the device side completely.
