Chapter 4

Resource Management in Pervasive Computing

Pervasive computing encompasses a broad range of capabilities including communications (e.g., cell phones), mobile computing (e.g., laptop computers), image transferring (e.g., displays), and sensors (e.g., RFID and cameras), where efficient resource management is important for making pervasive systems available anytime and anywhere in the world. More specifically, infrastructures and challenges, from resource allocation to task migration, must be carefully maintained in order to make pervasive systems more efficient.

In this chapter, we introduce ways to allocate resources efficiently and then present how to migrate tasks intelligently in pervasive environments.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
