Towards Mobile Opportunistic in Cloud Computing
Arokiaraj David · SSRN Electronic Journal · 2018
With the advent of wearable computing and the resulting growth in the mobile application market, we investigate mobile opportunistic cloud computing where mobile devices leverage nearby computational resources in order to save execution time and consumed energy. We propose enabling generic computational offloading to heterogeneous devices that include Cloud, mobile devices, and cloudlets. We propose a generic and flexible architecture that maximizes the computational gain with respect to variant metrics such as minimizing the response time, reducing the overall energy consumption and increasing the network lifetime. This novel architecture is designed to automate computation offloading to various computer resources over disrupted network connections due to the nature of mobile devices.
