Abstract

Mobile devices are increasing day-by-day and so is the computation carried out on mobile devices. In general, the mobile devices are also becoming more powerful from the computational abilities they provide for the user. There are also different aspects of mobile devices. Few devices maybe very resourceful and few might not be. Few maybe efficient in performing some set of computations and others might be good at connectivity. Hence, the current set of mobile devices have a wide variety of capabilities in them. However, with the limited power sources on the mobile devices, it is imperative that we need to use the computational resources such that it is using as less power as possible. It is very evident that the collaboration is the key in the current decade. Many people interact with others for various business and personal reasons. It maybe for solving a technical issue, or maybe just catching up with old friends or maybe entertainment among friends. This paper deals with providing a computational platform for the mobile devices that can use the distributed computing techniques among all the participating parties over an ad-hoc network - through the Internet or Local Area Network. The paper tries to ensure that the mobile devices use their computational power to solve or compute instead of using a server to offload its computation. With the latest mobile devices with large capacity, a group of devices should be able to execute many tasks themselves without much burden on their power sources. The paper tries to tackle the single point of computation in the ad-hoc network of participant devices.
