A Service-Oriented Middleware Enabling Decentralised Deployment in Mobile Multihop Networks

Description

The number of computing devices, mostly smartphones is tremendous. The potential for distributed computing on them is no less huge. But developing applications for such networks is challenging especially as most middleware solutions for distributed computing are tailored to managed grids and clusters, so they lacks the elasticity needed to deal with the difficult conditions brought by multi-hops, mobility, heterogeneity, untrustability, etc. To solve this, several middleware were released, but none of them feature workable deployment solutions. This paper presents the deployment service of the Idawi middleware, which implements a fully decentralized and automatised deployment strategy into a Open Source middleware tailored to enabling distributed computing in difficult networking conditions like in the IoT/fog/edge.
