[more ▼] Wearable devices have become essential in our daily activities. Due to battery constrains the use of computing, communication, and storage resources is limited. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) and the recently emerged Fog Computing (FC) paradigms unleash unprecedented opportunities to augment capabilities of wearables devices. Partitioning mobile applications and offloading computationally heavy tasks for execution to the cloud or edge of the network is the key. Offloading prolongs lifetime of the batteries and allows wearable devices to gain access to the rich and powerful set of computing and storage resources of the cloud/edge. In this paper, we experimentally evaluate and discuss rationale of application partitioning for MCC and FC. To experiment, we develop an Android-based application and benchmark energy and execution time performance of multiple partitioning scenarios. The results unveil architectural trade-offs that exist between the paradigms and devise guidelines for proper power management of service-centric Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

[more ▼] In mobile crowd-sensing systems, the value of crowd-sensed big data can be increased by incentivizing the users appropriately. Since data acquisition is participatory, crowd-sensing systems face the challenge of data trustworthiness and truthfulness assurance in the presence of adversaries whose motivation can be either manipulating sensed data or collaborating unfaithfully with the motivation of maximizing their income. This paper proposes a game theoretic methodology to ensure trustworthiness in user recruitment in mobile crowd-sensing systems. The proposed methodology is a platform-centric framework that consists of three phases: user recruitment, collaborative decision making on trust scores, and badge rewarding. In the proposed framework, users are incentivized by running sub-game perfect equilibrium and gami cation techniques. Through simulations, we showthat approximately 50% and a minimum of 15% improvement can be achieved by the proposed methodology in terms of platform and user utility, respectively, when compared with fully distributed and user-centric trustworthy crowd-sensing.
