Incentives for Mobile Cloud Environments through P2P Auctions

Abstract

Mobile Cloud Computing is a form of collaborative decentralized Cloud which allows mobile devices to unload computation to a local Cloud formed by mobile and static devices. Mobile Cloud Computing provides a better service to latency sensitive applications, due to its physical proximity to the VM host. However, in these systems, the problem of free riding users becomes more acute, for the heterogeneity of devices (from smartphones to private servers) makes the gap of contributed resources much larger. In this work, we analyze the use of incentives for Mobile Clouds, and propose a new auction system adapted to the high dynamism and heterogeneity of these systems. We compare our solution to other existing auctions systems in a Mobile Cloud use case, and show the suitability of our solution.

Emergency management systems using mobile cloud computing: A survey

“… Incentives: In an MCC application, multiple active users are present 103 . There should be a proper incentive system which can assign the required resources to the corresponding users to attain their needs. Presentation: A lot of users are expected to use the EMS present in cloud through their own devices.…”
