Context-aware multi-objective resource allocation in mobile cloud ?
A resource allocation method to minimize time and energy of tasks in mobile cloud is proposed. A two-stage approach using NSGA-II, entropy and TOPSIS methods is employed. A context-aware Offloading Middleware for Mobile Cloud is developed to manage offloading. A virtual credit based incentive mechanism is used to motivate users to cooperate in offloading. The proposed method appropriately manages the trade-off between time and energy.
