Abstract(s)
Smartphones and other internet enabled devices are
now common on our everyday life, thus unsurprisingly a
current trend is to adapt desktop PC applications to
execute on them. However, since most of these
applications have quality of service (QoS) requirements,
their execution on resource-constrained mobile devices
presents several challenges. One solution to support
more stringent applications is to offload some of the
applications’ services to surrogate devices nearby.
Therefore, in this paper, we propose an adaptable
offloading mechanism which takes into account the QoS
requirements of the application being executed
(particularly its real-time requirements), whilst allowing
offloading services to several surrogate nodes. We also
present how the proposed computing model can be
implemented in an Android environment
