Abstract:

Mobile devices are being transformed into a ubiquitous computing platform, resulting in profound impact on the way we live, work and play. New mobile applications with advanced features are being created everyday and finding their way into our lives. However, this trend toward omnipotent mobile Internet is hampered by the fact that mobile devices, compared to their desktop counterparts, are inherently resource-poor, due to limited computing power and battery lifetime.
As a result, there exists a tussle between computation-intensive applications and resource-poor mobile devices. Recently, a mobile cloud computing paradigm is emerging and is capable of answering the needs of computation-intensive mobile applications, and reflects our vision of “carry small enjoy large”: carry a small mobile device while enjoying a large amount of resources offered by cloud computing infrastructure. Under this paradigm, a small mobile device can deliver a rich experience of computing, telephony, multimedia, entertainment, gaming, and Internet. In this talk, I will focus on energy-efficient scheduling policy for collaborative execution in mobile cloud computing.
