Mobile Cloud Offloading Models

A true capitalist does not have a job, because other people and other people's money work for them.

Robert Kiyosaki

Abstract

Mobile cloud offloading models are usually modeled as an application graph mapped to a surrogate network. An application is a directed acyclic graph, where vertexes are computation tasks and edges are data channels connecting tasks. The sites that run offloaded codes may be one surrogate or a network of devices. To offload the computation tasks to the surrogate network is to map the vertexes and edges from application graph to the surrogate network. In general, offloading objectives usually target saving mobile device's energy and decreasing application's execution time, ...
