Enabling Migration Decisions Through Policy Services in SOA Mobile Cloud Computing Systems

摘要

According to some estimates, mobile applications will drive over half of the volume on the internet by the second half of the 2010s. This powerful technology is constrained by energy sources (battery), mobile spectrums and other physical characteristics. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) complements these devices by bringing the vast resources available in Clouds to them. Applications can be modularized and shipped for processing to these centers of greater capability freeing up computation, data requirements and ultimately energy. Our approach in this study is to first use SOA/BPEL/services design principles to modularize the application. Once the application is modularized we propose an architecture for a service that drives the decision of what to migrate. The application is scaled and migrated with the AppleHandoff (iOS 8.1.3) facility to provide objective results to the theory. The service architecture designed for the policy service is based on SOA principles and includes Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) drivers identified by the user.
