The increased mobile connectivity, the range and number of services availablein various computing environments in the network, demand mobile applications tobe highly dynamic to be able to efficiently incorporate those services intoapplications, along with other local capabilities on mobile devices. However,the monolithic structure and mostly static configuration of mobile applicationcomponents today limit application's ability to dynamically manage internalcomponents, to be able to adapt to the user and the environment, and utilizevarious services in the network for improving the application experience.  In this paper, we present REACT, a new Android-based framework that enablesapps to be developed as a collection of loosely coupled microservices (MS). Itallows individual distribution, dynamic management and offloading of MS to beexecuted by services in the network, based on contextual changes. REACT aims toprovide i) a framework as an Android Library for creating MS-based apps thatadapt to contextual changes ii) a unified HTTP-based communication mechanism,using Android Inter-Process Communication (IPC) for transporting requestsbetween locally running MS, while allowing flexible and transparent switchingbetween network and IPC requests, when offloading. We evaluate REACT byimplementing a video streaming app that dynamically offloads MS to web servicesin the network, adapting to contextual changes. The evaluation shows theadaptability to contextual changes and reductions in power consumption whenoffloading, while our communication mechanism overcomes performance limitationsof Android IPC by enabling efficient transferring of large payloads betweenmobile MS.
