The significant development of mobile cloud computing allows a mobile user to access resources of the nearby mobile devices, i.e., Cloudlets, for processing tasks by using the offloading mechanism. However, due to the mobility of the user and cloudlets, the connection between the user's device and cloudlets may be interrupted since cloudlets move out of transmission range of the user's device. Consequently,...
The emergence of mobile cloud computing enables mobile users to dynamically offload applications to nearby mobile resource-rich devices (i.e., cloudlets) to reduce energy consumption and improve execution efficiency. However, due to mobility, the connections between a mobile user and mobile cloudlets can be intermittent. As a result, offloading actions taken by a mobile user may fail (e.g., the user...
Applications for wireless sensor networks may be decomposed into the deployment of tasks on different sensor nodes in the network. Task allocation algorithms assign these tasks to specific sensor nodes in the network for execution. Given the resource-constrained and distributed nature of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), existing static (offline) task scheduling may not be practical. Therefore there...
