Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) enables mobile devices to use resource providers other than mobile devices themselves to host the execution of mobile applications. Recent research shows that it is more suitable for mobile devices to offload complex real-time applications to the cloud formed by nearby mobile devices, referred to as the local mobile cloud, because of low communication latency. In this...
As mobile devices have become more powerful and ubiquitous in our daily life, sharing content objects among mobile platforms has become increasingly popular. Without the help of server infrastructures, clients usually form a mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) system as an ad-hoc network, and discover content objects by flooding query to neighboring peers. Such a flooding-based query method consumes communication...
In this paper we introduce mechanisms for automated mapping of urban areas that provide a virtual sensor abstraction to the applications. We envision a participatory system that exploits widely available devices as mobile phones to cooperatively read environmental conditions as air quality or noise pollution, and map these measurements to stationary virtual sensors. We propose spatial and temporal...
