The success of wireless networks and Cloud Computing technologies is carrying the technological advances to offer complete transparent and elastic services to the ever-growing number of mobile wireless devices. Mobile Cloud Computing is a novel paradigm that promises to provide processing and storage offloading capabilities by transferring computing resources from the mobile devices to cloud services. Challenges come from the fact that design rationale for Mobile Cloud Computing functional components has been focusing on only a very limited scope of key performance factors. Advanced Mobile Cloud scenarios require more complex mechanisms as result of being deployed in more distributed and heterogeneous infrastructures, thus driving the need for a novel design rationale. The long-term objective of this proposal is to develop innovative contributions (e.g., techniques, algorithms, methodologies, and the like) to support efficient modeling and design of offloading decision making coupled with a distributed resource allocation system capable of dynamically composing and self-organizing an end-to-end optimal cloud Infrastructure. The composed infrastructure is optimized for the execution of a mobile application workload. Research effort will include the following four short-term objectives: (1) Develop analytical modelling for decentralized processing offloading decision making where strategic software components and algorithms take timely decisions on what, when, and how to start the processing offloading procedures. (2) Design the building blocks of a Mobile Cloud Computing architecture with their respective functionalities, aiming at (i) accommodating scalability requirements for mobile applications; (ii) providing decentralized decision making mechanisms to mobile devices in order to ease the management load at the cloud computing providers; (iii) minimizing control signaling overhead between mobile devices and the distributed cloud computing infrastructure; and (iv) realizing the dynamic computation of?oading decision update procedures (monitoring, elasticity). (3) Develop a dynamic resource provisioning and allocation based on factors such as the availability of cloud resources, the performance optimization objective and the topology awareness of clouds and mobile devices. (4) Develop a working prototype to demonstrate usefulness, capabilities, and performance of the novel Mobile Cloud Computing framework. The outcome of the project will significantly advance the state-of- the-art on resource allocation in Mobile Cloud Computing. It will also have profound impact on the development of industrial Mobile Cloud Computing resource management systems. The research is particularly critical for the sustained growth of mobile applications. Finally, it will provide excellent opportunities for training highly qualified personal.

无线网络和云计算技术的成功正在携带技术进步，为不断增长的移动无线设备提供完整的透明和弹性服务。移动云计算是一种新颖的范式，有望通过将计算资源从移动设备传输到云服务来提供处理和存储卸载功能。挑战来自以下事实：移动云计算功能组件的设计基本原理一直集中在非常有限的关键绩效因素上。先进的移动云方案需要将更复杂的机制部署到分布式和异构基础架构中，从而促进了对新颖的设计基本原理的需求。 该提案的长期目标是开发创新的贡献（例如，技术，算法，方法论等），以支持有效的建模和设计决策的建模和设计，并结合分布式资源分配系统，能够动态组成和自我组织端到终端的最终云基础结构。为执行移动应用程序工作负载而优化了组成的基础架构。研究工作将包括以下四个短期目标： （1）为分散的处理卸载决策制定开发分析模型，其中战略软件组件和算法及时就可以及时决策。 （2）设计具有各自功能的移动云计算体系结构的构件，旨在（i）满足移动应用程序的可伸缩性要求； （ii）向移动设备提供分散的决策机制，以减轻云计算提供商的管理负载； （iii）将移动设备和分布式云计算基础架构之间的控制信号开销最小化； （iv）实现“弹药决策更新过程”（监视，弹性）的动态计算。 （3）基于云资源的可用性，性能优化目标以及云和移动设备的拓扑意识等因素，开发动态的资源提供和分配。 （4）开发一个工作原型，以展示新型移动云计算框架的有用性，功能和性能。 该项目的结果将大大推动移动云计算中资源分配的最新技术。它还将对工业移动云计算资源管理系统的发展产生深远的影响。这项研究对于移动应用的持续增长尤为重要。最后，它将为培训高素质的个人提供绝佳的机会。
