Mobile devices have experienced a huge progress in computing capacity, storage and visualization of data. They are becoming the device of choice for operating a large variety of applications while supporting real-time collaboration of people and their mobility. Despite this progress, the energy consumption and the network coverage remain a serious problem against an efficient and continuous use of these mobile collaborative applications and a great challenge for their designers and developers. To address these issues, this paper describes design patterns that help modeling mobile collaborative applications enabling real-time data sharing through the cloud. Our design model consists of two levels: the first one provides self-protocol to create clones of mobile devices, manage users’ groups and recover failed clones in the cloud. As for the second level, it supports group collaboration mechanisms for data sharing between mobile users via their clones. Our patterns have been used as a basis for the design of SocialVPN, a cloud-based platform enabling mobile users to build and exploit their own virtual social networks.
