Abstract:
The current research on mobile cloud computing systems and mechanisms has identified several challenges that have to be addressed for permitting execution on remote terminals/servers. A mobile cloud computing service provision has to be based on a framework that will ensure the effective execution of applications under an energy-efficient approach. In this context, this paper elaborates on the assessment of a framework that exploits a cooperative process-execution offloading scheme, pointing at offering energy conservation. The proposed approach utilizes a dynamic scheduling process to ensure that no discontinuous execution will happen on mobile devices. In addition, this paper elaborates on a partial offloading algorithm for an energy-efficient failure-aware allocation of the resources, by considering temporal execution-oriented metrics for the evaluation of the performance. The proposed scheme is analytically assessed through event driven simulation tests, towards verifying the effectiveness of the anticipated offloading approach, in terms of the energy consumption of the mobile devices and the quality of the degree offered.
