摘要
Cloud computing advocates a promising paradigm that facilitates the access within heterogeneous services, platforms, and end users. However, platforms (or host servers) have confined to devices which require a considerable computing resources. In this case, solutions concerning the efficient use of pervasive devices with constrained resources become an open issue. This study investigates the seamless connection between embedded devices and cloud resources to enhance the capability of computing and furthermore provide context-aware services. A method for wireless program dissemination and boot loading is proposed to transfer necessary information and resources between service and target device(s). The experiment results on time delay and energy cost demonstrate the feasibility and performance.
