Energy-efficient Execution of Mobile Services using Flexible Cloud Platforms
Two recent trends are major motivators for service compo-
nent migration: the upcoming use of cloud-based services
and the increasing number of mobile users accessing the
Internet-based services via wireless networks. While cloud-
based services target the vision of Software as a Service,
where services are ubiquitously available, mobile use of such
services impairs the battery life of the device caused by ad-
ditional network communication between the cloud and the
mobile device. This paper investigates service component
migration between the mobile client - as part of the cloud -
and the infrastructure-based cloud as a means to save energy
of the mobile device. Hereby, migration decisions are control-
led by policies. A Markov modelling approach to calculate
optimised policies with respect to energy consumption at the
client is introduced and applied to an example scenario
