| Abstract | Mobile applications used in smartphones are increasingly using Open APIs, and the trend is likely to continue in the foreseeable future. However, the performance of the Open APIs integrated in smartphone apps (Mobile Open APIs) remains hidden from app developers and app users because of the lack of a method to isolate the Open API calls from the whole app execution process. In this paper, we present the very first effort on characterizing Mobile Open APIs and analyzing their performance in terms of four metrics: response latency, network traffic, energy consumption, and CPU usage. We first develop APIExtractor (APIX), a software tool to extract the Mobile Open API calls as fine-grained as in the function level from Android app files (.apk). Then the popularity of the Open API functions were ranked by running APIX on 200 top popular apps downloaded from the Android app store. We then perform in-depth case studies on the the top 17 most popular Mobile Open APIs, by wrapping each of them in a specifically designed app (called APISymphone) and test the apps on both Wi-Fi and cellular network. Furthermore, we conduct a global scale measurements of the Mobile Open APIs by using Amazon Elastic Computing service. Our comprehensive measurement-based results provides very intriguing as well as interesting insights to the performance characteristics of Mobile APIs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
