Introducing FALCON: Fast App Launching with Context from Microsoft Research

Apps on Windows Telephone boot up fairly apace and the user only has but a few seconds to wait for the software to fully load, but what if the operating organization itself could predict what app(s) you're likely to run that verbal 2d? Cue FALCON, a projection undertaken by Microsoft Inquiry. The "Fast App Launching with Context" allows the faster execution of apps by preloading the software in retentiveness (multitasking stack).

One of the researchers, Tingxin Yan, describes FALCON every bit:

A context-aware mobile app preloading component for mobile Os. Based on intensive data analysis of app usage across multiple mobile users, FALCON presents a determination engine which exploits temporal and spacial characters of user behavior to pre-load apps ahead of fourth dimension, thereby improves the responsiveness of smartphones.

How FALCON would achieve this is by anticipating what apps the user is likely to launch using algorithms, and is part of a larger project chosen "Context Information OS (ConDOS)". Microsoft Research aims to ameliorate the mobile experience with ConDOS by integrating context into the platform Os.

The team is fix to present their research at the MobiSys 2022 conference this year. Information technology'll be interesting to see such functionality built into Windows Phone to further improve responsiveness beyond competitor platforms.
