Abstract:

In Mobile Cloud computing, offloading the computation to the remote resources has become a crucial issue at runtime. This project proposes a new methodology that is formal framework, whose objective is to allow runtime support for offloading decisions. By means of a domain specific language (MobiCa), a developer can outline each system and application structure, in terms of involved devices, memory required computational power, code and partitioning. Here, we have used one of the formal verification techniques like model checker that is UPPAAL, which is the framework it provides comprehensive and automatic way of providing decision support for offloading using formal verification technique. In UPPAAL, at runtime analytic traces are generated which are driven by some query verified on the timed automata model associated with the specification of MobiCa language. This technique permits one to reduce memory utilization, battery utilization and guaranteeing the most effective system performance. In this project, navigator application is taken as a case study, probably one of the foremost used applications on mobile devices
