| Abstract | Recent years have witnessed an explosive growth of mobile applications. Thanks to improved network connectivity, it becomes a promising enabling solution to offload computation-intensive applications to the resource abundant public cloud to further augment the capacity of resource-constrained devices. As mobile applications usually have QoS requirements, it is critical to provide low latency services to the mobile users while maintain low leasing cost of cloud resources. However, the resources offered by cloud vendors are usually charged based on a time quanta while the offloading demand for heavy-lifting computation may occur infrequently on mobile devices. This mismatch would demotivate users to resort to public cloud for computation offloading. In this paper, we design a computation offloading middleware which bridges the aforementioned gap between cloud vendors and mobile clients, providing offloading service to multiple users with low cost and delay. The proposed middleware has two key components: Task Scheduler and Instance Manager. The Task Scheduler dispatches the received offloading tasks to execute in the instances reserved by the Instance Manager. Based on the arrival pattern of offloading tasks, the Instance Manager dynamically changes the number of instances to ensure certain service grade of mobile users. Our proposed mechanisms are validated through numerical results. It is shown that a lower average delay can be achieved through proposed scheduling heuristic, and the number of reserved instances well adapts to the offloading demands. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
