Scavenger demo application released!

I have just released the first Scavenger demo app: AugIM - the Augmented Image Manager. AugIM is an old demonstrator that I made a long time ago, and now I have ported it to use Scavenger for its cyber foraging tasks.


AugIM is an image browser/editor for Maemo (running on Nokia's N800/N810 devices) that allows you to do simple image manipulation tasks such as sharpening, resizing, adjusting color/contrast/brightness, rotating, flipping etc. It also allows you to share your images with the world through email or Google Picasa Web. The N800 and N810 devices are capable of performing these services on their own, but it takes a long time for them to do so and it consumes a very large amount of energy. Using Scavenger, AugIM makes sure that heavy processing is offloaded to larger surrogates whenever possible, which means that the image manipulation tasks are performed faster and using less energy on the mobile device.
