A tablet-class cloud architecture for remote execution and interactive data analysis

An open source private cloud architecture environment is described that supports tablet-class computer devices as clients. The cloud architecture employs a Metadata server, Data servers, and Compute servers. The private cloud clients are treated as a limited resource device: limited in memory, view space and computing power. The client tablet makes requests to the Metadata server that maintains a dictionary of category specific information and services that reside on registered Data and Computeservers. The software architecture is a Java based Web server. In addition, support for interactive user apps are introduced by deploying a paired producer/consumer used to coordinating the data transfer between the client and server machines. The software architecture has been tested and the source is available for public access.
