“…Zanni et al [30] propose an approach to split arbitrary Android apps into smaller tasks that can be offloaded. Sterz et al [26] present a framework for remote procedure calls in disruption-tolerant networks with separated control and data channels to cope with short contact durations. Internet-of-Things devices use more capable devices that are reachable within one hop to execute a task [12].…”

Computation offloading is often used in mobile cloud, edge, and/or fog computing to cope with resource limitations of mobile devices in terms of computational power, storage, and energy. Computation offloading is particularly challenging in situations where network connectivity is intermittent or errorprone. In this paper, we present OPPLOAD, a novel framework for offloading computational workflows in opportunistic networks. The individual tasks forming a workflow can be assigned to particular remote execution platforms (workers) either preselected ahead of time or decided just in time where a matching worker will automatically be assigned for the next task. Tasks are only assigned to capable workers that announce their capabilities. Furthermore, tasks of a workflow can be executed on multiple workers that are automatically selected to balance the load. Our Python implementation of OPPLOAD is publicly available as open source software. The results of our experimental evaluation demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.

“…To verify the viability of Serval in our disaster scenario, we conducted an in-depth performance analysis of the existing protocol and software [37]. Based on our results, we reduced the protocol overhead by dynamically adjusting the neighbor announcement interval [38] and implemented transparent computation task offloading to preserve local resources [39]. To allow the integration of Serval in UV4EC, we implemented pre-and post-receive message filters as well as content hooks that are triggered when manipulating the data store 12 .…”

Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are promising assets to support rescue operations in natural or man-made disasters. Most UGVs and UAVs deployed in the field today depend on human operators and reliable network connections to the vehicles. However, network connections in challenged environments are often lost, thus control can no longer be exercised. In this paper, we present a novel approach to emergency communication where semi-autonomous UGVs and UAVs cooperate with humans to dynamically form communication islands and establish communication bridges between these islands. Humans typically form an island with their mobile devices if they are in physical proximity; UGVs and UAVs extend an island's range by carrying data to a neighboring island. The proposed approach uses delay/disruptiontolerant networking for non-time critical tasks and direct mesh connections for prioritized tasks that require real-time feedback. The developed communication platform runs on rescue robots, commodity mobile devices, and various drones, and supports our operations and control center software for disaster management.
