Mobile Cloud Computing and Wearables

Context

Mobile cloud computing enables delivery of a largevariety of cloud application to billions of smart-phones and wearable devices. Many of these de-vices have constrained computing, battery and stor-age resources, which requires offloading the exe-cution of heavy tasks to the cloud. Mobile cloudcomputing in turn enabled mobile devices to run applications providing rich user experience,including commerce, healthcare, social networks and gaming among the others. As a result, themobile devices market is continuously growing. In the context of wearable devices, sales areexpected to grow from $ 5 billion in 2013 up to around $ 30 billion in 2018.

Objectives

Traditionally, offloading task execution to the cloud focused on the impact of tasks on energyconsumption of the devices. However, in mobile cloud computing environment communicationsplay an important role. Despite of this, few works jointly investigated the impact of computingand communication on battery drain.

The objective of the project is to verify experimentally whether it is convenient for wearabledevices to offload task execution on the cloud taking into account computing, networking andstorage resources. Particular emphasis will be put in application partitioning models. Experimentswill be carried on a rich set of wearable devices, including Google Glasses, smart watches andsmart rings.

Tasks

• Contribute to the scientific research in the area of mobile cloud computing

• Conduct experiments using a rich set of available wearable devices (Google Glasses, smartwatches and smart rings)

• Participate in writing of scientific articles that will be presented in international conferencesand published in major scientific journals

Requirements

• Background in the area of communications and optimization

• Good programming skills (C++)

• Good command of English language is essential

• Ability to work independently as well as in a team
