Parked Vehicle Edge Computing: Exploiting Opportunistic Resources for Distributed Mobile Applications

Feature Recognition for Interactive Applications: Exploiting Distributed Resources

The availability of low-cost computational power is enabling development of increasingly sophisticated CAD software. Automation of design and manufacturing activities poses many diicult computational problems. Design is an interactive process and speed is a critical factor in systems that enable designers to explore and experiment with alternative ideas. As more downstream manufacturing activit...

Adaptable Mobile Applications: Exploiting Logical Mobility in Mobile Computing

An increasing number of applications is being written for mobile hosts, such as laptop computers, mobile phones, PDAs etc. These applications are usually monolithic, featuring very limited interoperability and context-awareness and are usually difficult to deploy and update. Application engineers have to deal with a very dynamic set of environments that these applications are in contact with an...

Distributed Mobile Computing: Development of Distributed Applications Using Mobile Agents

There exist distributed scenarios in which the need for dynamism, mobility, and adaptivity, has to be addressed with highly dynamical approaches. These scenarios present different challenges and difficulties: efficient access to heterogeneous and distributed data sources, dynamic load balancing, unstable connections and communication failures, etc. So, different approaches and middleware have a...

Mobile Agents - The Right Vehicle for Distributed Sequential Computing

Distributed sequential computing (DSC) is computing with distributed data using a single locus of computation. In this paper we argue that computation mobility—the ability for the locus of computation to migrate across distributed memories and continue the computation as it meets the required data—facilitated by mobile agents with strong mobility is essential for scalable distributed sequential...
