Abstract

Many pervasive inter-vehicular applications involve the collation, processing and summarisation of sensor data originating from vehicles. When and where such processing takes place is an explicit design-stage decision. Often some processing occurs on vehicles, and some on backend servers, but it is hard for the programmer to optimise this distribution for feasibility or performance. This paper investigates automated task assignment: we define a computational model which captures data aggregation and summarisation explicitly, allowing a compiler to automatically optimise the assignment of processing tasks to particular vehicles and servers. Our model allows a compiler to apply program transformations to data processing, which can further improve task assignment.
