Tactical cloudlets are forward-deployed, discoverable, virtual-machine-based servers that can be hosted on vehicles or other platforms to provide a computation offload and data staging infrastructure for mobile devices in the field. Because of the mobility of cloudlets in the field, as well as dynamic missions, a mobile user of a cloudlet might need to migrate active capabilities (computation and...
Cyber-foraging is a technique for dynamically augmenting the computing power of resource-limited mobile devices by opportunistically exploiting nearby fixed computing infrastructure. Cloudlet-based cyber-foraging relies on discoverable, generic, forward-deployed servers located in single-hop proximity of mobile devices. In particular, we define tactical cloudlets as the infrastructure to support computation...
Handheld mobile technology can help disaster relief workers and soldiers in the field with tasks such as speech and image recognition, natural language processing, decision-making, and mission planning. However, these applications are computation-intensive, take a heavy toll on battery power, and often rely on good connectivity to networks, limiting their practical usefulness in a crisis. This paper...
