Project Overview
“Towards a Mobile Cloud” was an EIT ICT Labs project exploring seamless integration of mobile computing and cloud services. It investigated how to combine local (mobile) and remote (cloud) resources to support pervasive applications.
Our Goal
Develop hybrid architectures bridging smartphones and cloud infrastructure. Explore adaptive computation offloading for performance and energy savings. Demonstrate mobile cloud use cases in real-world scenarios.
Highlights
European collaboration under EIT ICT Labs. Early contribution to mobile-edge computing concepts. Focused on context-aware offloading and latency reduction.
Impact
Influenced later research on fog computing and edge-cloud integration. Improved understanding of energy–performance tradeoffs in mobile systems. Contributed frameworks still relevant for pervasive and IoT applications.
