Avaliação de desempenho de computation offloading em nuvens veiculares

Abstract

VANETs (Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks), or vehicular networks aim to provide safety and comfort for drivers on the roads and highways. However, vehicles are rapidly evolving in the category of computing power, ie vehicles are leaving the factory with high-performance devices but remain in the majority of time idle or being wasted. VANET-Cloud tries to integrate cloud computing concepts in vehicle networks in order to remedy this underutilized resource problem by supplying the same as a cloud service. Such services can be provided in the form of Internet access, computer resources, information sharing and storage. In this paper we report the computational offloading in VANETs as an opportunistic use of technical idle resources present in vehicles to perform complex tasks.
