Resource Pooling Mechanism for Mobile Cloud Computing Service

摘要

Cloud computing services enable virtual services with physical resources consisting of workstations and clusters having storages, processes, and memories. Unlike general resources, mobile devices have such features as miniaturized hardware, embedded sensors, and touch screen. Furthermore, mobile devices have mobility and portability which are lacking in general workstations and clusters. Mobile cloud computing services organize physical resources with mobile devices which have low hardware performance and are sporadically connected to the network. Therefore, it is difficult to integrate resources if they are organized as in general cloud computing services. Resource pooling management is required to manage and provide the resources of mobile devices dynamically in an integrated manner and provide them to users without work loss. This research proposes Mobile Resource Integration - Manager (MR1-M) which checks and manages the resource status of mobile devices in mobile cloud computing services and considers the organization of resource pooling.
