Introduction - If you have any usage issues, please Google them yourself
With mobile devices increasingly able to connect
to cloud servers anywhere, resource-constrained devices
can potentially perform offloading of computational tasks to
either improve resource usage or improve performance. It is of
interest to find optimal assignments of tasks to local and remote
devices that can take into account the application-specific profile,
availability of computational resources, and link connectivity,
and find a balance between energy consumption costs of mobile
devices and latency for delay-sensitive applications. Given an
application described by a task dependency graph, we formulate
an optimization problem to minimize the latency while meeting
prescribed resource utilization constraints. Different most of
