Abstract

As the popularity of smartphones and tablets increases, the mobile platform is becoming a very important target for application developers. Despite recent advances in mobile hardware, most mobile devices still fall short to execute complex multimedia applications such as image processing. Cyber foraging is a well known computing technique to enhance the capabilities of mobile devices, where the mobile device offloads parts of the application to a nearby discovered server in the network. In this poster, we present AIOLOS: a mobile middleware system for adaptive offloading that identifies candidate methods for offloading to the application developer. We present a model taking into account server resources and network state to decide at runtime whether or not the method execution should be offloaded. A prototype implementation of the middleware on the Android mobile platform is presented and evaluated using a real life application scenario.
