General Objective:-

Develop a platform that has significant performance

in low bandwidth, high latency wireless network.

Specific Objectives:-

Develop a platform for mobile based application that

farmers use to access information relevant to their

farm production .

Demonstrate the use of middle-layer cloudlets as

caching between mobile devices and cloud.

Storage and Computation offloading from mobile

devices to corresponding cloud with tolerable User

experience.

Provide a pre-computed services specific to particular

region at cloudlet level.

Minimizing the propagation delay to improve the

network throughput.

Developing countries faces challenges toward

cloud computing due to:-

The developed/developing country classifications

are based on the UN M49, see:

** Use cloudlet to overcome network

latency and propagation delay.

* Use parallel processing on real-time

basis in order to get accurate and fast

service that could be distributed to

Cloudlets based on cost function.

The Adaptation Box on cloudlets are used to

model users behavior and then pull update

services from cloud to cloudlets.
