Abstract

Techniques for improved mobile application architectures and service communication protocols are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a mobile device configured for providing a mobile application including multiple service applications. The service applications may execute asynchronously and in separate containers, providing service orientated architecture (SOA)-like services with respect to other portions of the mobile application, or even external applications. The separation of a monolithic mobile application into separate service applications provide advantages in terms of application performance, development, and maintenance. For example, a subset of all service applications may be started up, and executed on demand to improve device resource utilization efficiency.
