CloudAware: Towards context-adaptive mobile cloud computing

摘要: The widespread use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets is flanked by an ever increasing supply applications. Along with this trend, expectations requirements users rise well. For example, do not want to compromise on comfortable daily routines available desktop computers. However, intrinsic characteristic their limited availability resources (e.g., CPU, storage, bandwidth, energy) hindering in particular computation-intensive tasks. In scenario, cloud computing (MCC) promises overcome these limitations offering apparently infinite the infrastructure that are transparently accessible also for order easily benefit from offerings, dynamic code offloading has been proposed several approaches recently. solutions either consider complexity arising dynamically changing context environments adequately or have a steep learning curve inhibiting easy adoption developers. Therefore, paper presents novel approach towards context-adaptive computing. that, first extensive analysis was conducted merging ISO standards users', applications' developers' needs. Based this, evaluation related MCC-approaches allowed identifying promising concepts well current shortcomings. As result, MCC-framework, called CloudAware, eases development MCC-applications programming abstractions, multi-level distribution transparency, adaptation features hands-free end-users.
