Improving distribution of workload from mobile devices

By drawing on several SimulaMet research projects, Thomas Dreibholz (SimulaMet) and Somnath Mazumdar (Copenhagen Business School) have managed to prove a concept where open source software components are being used to improve distribution of workload from mobile devices into Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and public multi-cloud resources.

In a recently published paper titled “Reliable Server Pooling Based Workload Offloading with Mobile Edge Computing: A Proof-of-Concept”, Dreibholz and Mazumdar propose a proof-of-concept where they use Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) to manage resource pools and handle application sessions with these pools. A simple and efficient approach which is available as open-source. 

The usefulness of this approach was demonstrated in a test setup with a 4G testbed connected to Mobile Edge Computing and public multi-cloud resources.

The paper titled Reliable Server Pooling Based Workload Offloading with Mobile Edge Computing: A Proof-of-Concept can be read here. 

The paper is also going to be presented at the upcoming 3rd International Workshop on Recent advances for Multi-Clouds and Mobile Edge Computing.
