Drone-hosted Computation for Emergency Response

Ad hoc computing needs at remote locations or with insufficient resources due to reasons such as natural disasters require flexible solutions that are readily deployed on demand. We consider one scenario where unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) drones can be used provide necessary coverage in terms of computational support. Specifically, we an environment ground-based demand is satisfied by share the load seamless service. study transfer and location policies policy determines whether a job locally processed drone receives order if it sent another drone. Our results indicate mean queue length jobs waiting decreases sharing processing among modeled system. also highlight beneficial aspects two step policies.
