报告摘要:

Mobile cloud computing can overcome the limitations of mobile devices by offloading processing and storage to the abundant computational and storage resources in the cloud and/or devices in the vicinity. The latter is commonly referred to as cloudlets or ad hoc mobile cloud computing, and is conceptually similar to edge and fog computing. The advantages of these approaches include reduced battery usage for the originating mobile device and faster execution and responsiveness of computationally intensive tasks. However, there are challenging issues in mobile cloud computing arising from uncertainties in the availability and quality of the wireless connections between the originating user’s device and the cloud and other host devices in the neighbourhood, and the availability of computational or storage resources on potential host devices. In this talk, several resource management aspects and methods to achieve good performance and efficiency in the cloudlet ecosystem in the face of these uncertainties, and a scheme to incentivize nodes to cooperate in mutually beneficial ways, will be presented.
