Annotation Based Build Process Automation for Cyber Foraging Frameworks

Abstract

Cyber Foraging is a technique introduced to utilize the computing resources in the vicinity to improve the performance and the standby of the portable mobile devices. There have been various attempts to enable Cyber Foraging in smartphones, and they require lots of developer effort to offload the work from the applications in the mobile device, where the developers are required to do lots of code modifications or additions. We introduce an annotation based approach to automate the work offloading in a Cyber Foraging system to a greater extent, which requires minimal developer workload, through flexible technique. This can be refined in the future and be automated using machine learning algorithms, reducing developer effort furthermore.
