A framework for offloading real-time applications in a distributed environment

摘要

This work focuses on highly dynamic distributedsystems with Quality of Service (QoS) constraints (mostimportantly real-time constraints). To that purpose, real-timeapplications may benefit from code offloading techniques, so thatparts of the application can be offloaded and executed, asservices, by neighbour nodes, which are willing to cooperate insuch computations. These applications explicitly state their QoSrequirements, which are translated into resource requirements,in order to evaluate the feasibility of accepting other applicationsin the system.
