Augmented smartphone applications through clone cloud execution
Byung-Gon Chun, Petros Maniatis · 2009
Smartphones enable a new, rich user experience in pervasive computing, but their hardware is still very limited in terms of computation, memory, and energy reserves, thus limiting potential applications. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture that addresses these challenges via seamlessly—but partially—off-loading execution from the smartphone to a computational infrastructure hosting a cloud of smartphone clones. We outline new augmented execution opportunities for smartphones enabled by our CloneCloud architecture.
