A New Technique for Optimizing Resource Allocation and Data Distribution in Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract

The emergence of mobile cloud computing (MCC) brings benefits to mobile users and cloud providers. However, due to the inherent limitations of the device such as battery life time, CPU and memory capacity, a mobile thin client device (e.g. smart phones, tablets, iWatch, Google Glass, etc) cannot meet the requirements of some demanding applications. To alleviate this limitation, the mobile device should cooperate with external resources to increase its performance. Recently, current research approaches have been unable to offer an efficient, seamless computing experience. In this paper, we present a comprehensive thin-thick client collaboration that involves conventional desktop or laptop computers, known as thick clients, by allowing the thin client to borrow resources from thick clients, particularly for optimizing data distribution and utilizing MCC resources to meet Service-Level Agreements, Quality-of-Service requirements and cloud service customers' budget. Our work uses both numerical analysis and simulation to prove that our proposed architecture can improve resource allocation efficiency and achieve better performance than other existing approaches in some cases.

Cloud Computing Adoption in Higher Education Institutions of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

“… Cloud Clients: Cloud customers are computing devices that are utilized by clients to get to the resources utilizing the cloud computing facilities. Customers are additionally classified into three categories, THIN, and THICK kind of users [4]. Thin clients are without capacity drives sand users to show data by utilizing least equipment and lessen IT cost and expanded security, allowing communication with less power utilization [5].…”

Pregnancy Consultation Application Development based on Cloud Computing

“…Pengolahan akan dilakukan oleh server, dan server akan membagi dalam servis sehingga dapat dipanggil oleh banyak client dengan lebih ringan. Penggunaan clout computing membawa keuntungan bagi client, karena keterbatasan internet, daya tahan baterai, CPU dan kapasitas memori [6], hal ini yang menjadi batasan sebuah client untuk mengolah data secara offline. Cloud computing adalah sebuah model berbagi servis yang terkonfigurasi [7].…”
