Abstract
In Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), Virtual Machine (VM) migration based process offloading is a dominant approach to enhance Smart Mobile Devices (SMDs). A challenging aspect of VM deployment is the additional computing resources usage in the deployment and management of VM which obliges computing resources for VM creation and configuration. The management of VM comprises computing resources exploitation in the monitoring of VM in entire lifecycle and physical resources management for VM on SMDs. Therefore, VM migration based application offloading requires additional computing resource. Consequently computing resources demand and execution time of the application increases respectively. In this paper, we empirically review the impact of VM deployment and management on the execution time of application in diverse scenarios. We investigate VM deployment and management for application…
