Title
Ephemeral Apps.
Abstract
Despite a tremendous increase in the number of mobile apps, coupled with their popularity with consumers, there exists a wide gap in app availability vs. their use. Recent trends suggest that this gap will further widen in the future. Ephemeral apps, proposed in this paper, lower the barrier for end-user app acceptance by removing the app installation step when `trying out' new apps, without requiring modifications to current apps or any additional programming efforts by app developers. We estimate the resulting reduction in time-to-use for apps to be a factor of 10x by leveraging the emerging `edge cloud' tier of the Internet.
