Publication date 2017 ISSN 2168-7161 Keyword(s) mobile edge-clouds crowdsourcing mobile crowd computing offloading Summary As mobile devices evolve to be powerful and pervasive computingtools, their usage also continues to increase rapidly. However,mobile device users frequently experience problems when running intensiveapplications on the device itself, or offloading to remote clouds,due to resource shortage and connectivity issues. Ironically, most users’environments are saturated with devices with significant computationalresources. This paper argues that nearby mobile devices can efficientlybe utilised as a crowd-powered resource cloud to complement theremote clouds. Node heterogeneity, unknown worker capability, anddynamism are identified as essential challenges to be addressed whenscheduling work among nearby mobile devices. We present a worksharingmodel, called Honeybee, using an adaptation of the well-knownwork stealing method to load balance independent jobs among heterogeneousmobile nodes, able to accommodate nodes randomly leavingand joining the system. The overall strategy of Honeybee is to focus onshort-term goals, taking advantage of opportunities as they arise, basedon the concepts of proactive workers and opportunistic delegator. Weevaluate our model using a prototype framework built using Android andimplement two applications. We report speedups of up to 4 with sevendevices and energy savings up to 71% with eight devices.
