A significant amount of energy is consumed to render high-level computation tasks in large scale cloud computing applications. The state-of-the-art energy saving techniques based on centralized job placement approaches reduce the reliability of operation due to a single point of failure. Moreover, the existing works do not consider energy consumption cost for communication devices and network appliances...

We consider a number of randomly deployed sensors in home environment augmented with home appliances (e.g., cabinet, desk, chair etc.). Our proposal consists...
