P2PMOBILE - A Framework for Remote Execution in Mobile Environment

In the last decade, the popularity of mobile devices (such as smart-phones, personal digital assistance PDAs, laptops), together with the development of wireless connection technology has been making mobile computing highly discussed and studied by researchers. In this paper, we introduce P2PMOBILE, a new framework for utilizing distributed resources in heterogeneous network environment. P2PMOBILE is designed for allowing mobile users to fetch services and resources located in peer-to-peer nodes through their mobile devices. In our framework the peer lies in wired network and communicates with other peers through peer-to-peer protocol. They advertise their services and resources so that other peers can easily get access to these services and resources. Besides, P2PMOBILE enables mobile terminals to get access to these distributed resources and thus makes it possible to utilize these resources for remote execution of various tasks. The load of system is taken into consideration, and a novel approach to route the result of execution back to mobile users is presented in P2PMOBILE. We use image process as an example to test our framework in the end.
