Mobile cloud offloading that migrates heavy computation from mobile devices to powerful cloud servers through communication networks can alleviate the hardware limitations of mobile devices for higher performance and energy saving. Different applications usually give different relative importance to the factors of response time and energy consumption. In this paper, we investigate two types of ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Published guidelines for effective management of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) include total contact casting (TCC). The purpose of this case study is to describe the application of best practice guidelines for the treatment of a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) in a complex patient where TCC offloading could not be utilized. CASE DESCRIPTION The patient was a 47 year-old female w...

Due to limitation of mobile device in terms of battery life and processing power, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has become an attractive choice to leverage this shortcoming as the mobile computation could be offloaded to the cloud, which is so-called mobile computation offloading. Existing research on mobile computation offloading considers offloading a mobile computation to a single cloud. Howe...

Mobile offloading migrates heavy computation from mobile devices to powerful cloud servers. It is a promising technique that can save energy of the mobile device while keeping job completion time low when cloud servers are available and accessible. The benefit obtained by offloading greatly depends on whether it is applied at the right time in the right way. In this paper, we use queueing model...

Due to the network technology advances, an order-of-magnitude jump has been produced in the network bandwidth. This fact has returned to wake up the interest on protocol offloading, since network communication is a key factor for system performance. Thus, much research work on offloading is been done, particularly on TCP offloading as it has been the main transport protocol for many years, and ...

Offloading has emerged as a promising idea to allow handheld devices to access intensive applications without performance or energy costs. This could be particularly useful for enterprises seeking to run line-ofbusiness applications on handhelds. However, we must address two practical roadblocks in order to make offloading amenable for enterprises: (i) ensuring data privacy and the use of trust...

Original manuscript received 1 June 2010. Revised manuscript received 20 October 2010. Paper peer approved 8 November 2010. Summary The second-largest oil spillage in Norwegian petroleum history occurred on 12 December 2...

Prior research on mobile computation offloading has mainly focused on how to offload as well as what to offload. However, the problem of whether the offloading should be done attracted much less attention. In addition, existing offloading schemes either require special compilation or modification to the applications’ source code or binary, making them difficult to be deployed in practice. In th...

Due to increase in real-time mobile applications and Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) devices, the edge computing paradigm provides a systematic eccentric platform for applications. Though an effective infrastructure, however resource requirements of IIoT devices change radically with time, which is described as resource-agnostic property. Therefore, estimation critical resilient assignment...

During a century of existence, vehicles transformed from mechanical master pieces into consumer products with more and more computing power and sensing capabilities. Current vehicles include tens or even hundreds of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) that gather important amounts of information from the embedded sensors, and use this information to control different parts of the vehicles or to pro...
