FlexConnect - Mobile Computational Offloading with Edge-to-Cloud Checkpointing
Watch a technical presentation exploring the development of a flexible computational offloading system designed for Makerspaces and edge computing environments. Learn how Professor Davide Taibi from the University of Oulu addresses the challenge of providing cognitive edge-to-cloud computational power with checkpoint capabilities, particularly useful for facilities that must power down servers during non-operational hours. Discover the implementation details of a client-side mobile application that enables users to access computational resources while maintaining progress through checkpoint and restore features. Examine the feasibility study results demonstrating the successful implementation of a continuous edge-to-cloud computational platform that balances service quality with energy consumption. Originally presented at eSAAM 2023, this talk provides valuable insights into solving real-world computational offloading challenges in resource-constrained environments.
