Abstract

Many of today’s applications attempt to connect mobile users with resources available in their immediate surroundings. Existing approaches for discovering available resources are either , providing a single point of lookup somewhere in the cloud or , requiring mobile devices to directly connect to other nearby devices. In this paper, we explore an approach based on , marrying these two approaches to reflect both the proximity requirements of the applications and the dynamic nature of the resources. We present the design and implementation of a cloudlet-based proximal discovery service, solving key technical challenges along the way. We then use real world data traces to demonstrate, evaluate, and benchmark our service and compare it to a completely centralized approach. We find that, in supporting highly localized queries, our service outperforms the centralized approach without significantly affecting the quality of the discovery results.
