Use of distributed resources in mobile environment

Abstract

In this paper an approach to utilize distributed resources in mobile computing environment is presented. Our approach is based on the use of previously implemented mobile connectivity solution PeerHood. PeerHood observes the neighborhood of the mobile device making it possible to discover and use services of other devices (i.e. distributed resources in this environment) and thus makes it possible for our new approach to utilize these resources for remote execution of various tasks. We created a service on a fixed computer which receives tasks from other devices and executes them. Remote image analysis is used as an application to show how the approach could be efficiently used
