Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) aims at leveraging remote resources to boost application performance on mobile devices while conserving resources such as battery, memory, and storage. Offloading computations and outsourcing tasks are, however, associated with numerous challenges known from distributed systems. Typical mobile applications have a monolithic design and are not laid out for a distributed deployment and execution. In this work, we present how to design and partition such applications and how these partitions stay synchronized in a cost-efficient manner at runtime. We introduce our comprehensive and extendable framework MOCCAA (MObile Cloud Computing AdaptAble) that supports developers along this path. Its performance gain is
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
