An agent-based optimization framework for mobile-cloud computing

2013-01-01
The proliferation of cloud computing resources in the recent years offers a way for mobile devices with limited resources to achieve computationally intensive tasks in real-time. The mobile-cloud computing paradigm, which involves collaboration between mobile and cloud resources, is expected to become increasingly popular in mobile application development. Dynamic partitioning of applications between mobile and cloud platforms based on resource availability is crucial in achieving the best performance for any computationally intensive mobile application. In this paper, we propose a dynamic performance optimization framework for mobile-cloud computing utilizing mobile agent-based application partitions. The proposed framework imposes minimal infrastructural requirements on the cloud servers, therefore exhibiting widespread applicability, as opposed to previous approaches with stricter requirements. Experiments with two real-world mobile applications serve as an initial feasibility study of the proposed framework and demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach over monolithic execution of resource-intensive applications on mobile devices

Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a promising approach for real-time processing of big data streams originating from Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Even though scalability and flexibility are key issues for IoT applications, current studies are mostly based on centralized solutions and restrictive query languages. Moreover, development, deployment and operation of big-data applications require significant amount of technical expertise. Hence, a framework that provides a higher abstraction level programmi...
A Software Development Process Model for Cloud by Combining Traditional Approaches
Hacaloglu, Tuna; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok (2015-10-30)
Even though cloud computing is a technological paradigm that has been adopted more and more in various domains, there are few studies investigating the software development lifecycle in cloud computing applications and there is still not a comprehensive software development process model developed for cloud computing yet. Due to the nature of cloud computing that is completely different from the traditional software development, there is a need of suggesting process models to perform the software developmen...
