Vehicular cloud is getting significant research attention due to the technological advancements in smart vehicles. In near future, vehicles are envisioned to become part of a grid network providing cloud services, such as computing, storage, network, and application as a service. Vehicular cloud computing is an emerging area, designed to support delay-sensitive applications. However, this integration of vehicular network and cloud computing introduces new challenges for the research community. New frameworks have been proposed to assimilate and efficiently manage this merger. In this survey paper, we present the recent advancements in vehicular cloud computing domain. The review is primarily focused on two areas. First, we discuss the frameworks designed to utilize the vehicles' onboard resources to provide cloud services and highlight the design issues and research challenges. Secondly, we focus on a detailed study of mobility generators, network, and vehicular ad hoc network simulators, as well as the available vehicular data sets. We thus provide an overarching view of the complete domain of vehicular cloud computing and identify areas for future research directions.

“…We have discussed various MCC frameworks: (1) commercial clouds with complete task offloading for mobile devices, [2][3][4][5] (2) commercial clouds with partial task offloading for mobile devices, [9][10][11][12] (3) volunteer global cloud with stationary devices, [13][14][15] (4) volunteer global cloud with mobile devices, [18][19][20][21][22] (5) commercial or volunteer global cloud with mobile devices using cloudlets, [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] and (6) volunteer local cloud with mobile devices. [35][36][37][38][39][40] The major limitation of all the above-mentioned techniques 2,3,7-40 is that a fixed infrastructure is required which acts as a central controller to manage resource sharing.…”

Summary Today, the world is witnessing an exponential growth in the computational capabilities and storage capabilities of mobile devices. This has inspired application developers to create new and interesting applications for mobile devices. The applications have varied resource requirements and mobile devices are heterogeneous in their configurations. The idea of this research is to design a model for resource sharing among mobile devices so that any type of application can be run on a mobile device with the help of other such devices in close geographical proximity. A novel architecture for managing a group of volunteer nodes with unused or underused resources is designed and algorithms that are required for its operation are developed. The purpose of this research is to shift the focus towards futuristic computing paradigm where seamless resource sharing in the network would be feasible with explicitly all mobile nodes and without any dependency on fixed infrastructures. An extensive evaluation of the proposed Explicit Mobile Cloud (EMCloud) has been undertaken for mobile nodes in the network. It includes experience with a prototype that demonstrates EMCloud's performance. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms the state‐of‐the‐art Serendipity, OpenNebula, and Eucalyptus prototypes in terms of success rate and average delay for different network density, mobility, network load, and extent of hierarchy.

Abstract-In the latest years, we observed an exponential growth of the market of the mobile devices. In this scenario, it assumes a particular relevance the rate at which mobile devices are replaced. According to the International Telecommunicaton Union in fact, smart-phone owners replace their device every 20 months, on average. The side effect of this trend is to deal with the disposal of an increasing amount of electronic devices which, in many cases, are still working. We believe that it is feasible to recover such an unexploited computational power. Through a change of paradigm in fact, it is possible to achieve a two-fold objective: 1) extend the mobile devices lifetime; 2) enable a new opportunity to speed up mobile applications. In this paper we aim at providing a survey of state-of-art solutions aim at going in the direction of a Distributed Mobile Computing paradigm. We put in evidence the challenges to be addressed in order to implement this paradigm and we propose some possible future improvements.
