CAREER: Judicious Resource Management in Wireless Systems

移动的设备的资源约束对日益游牧的世界中无线应用的效用和质量施加了严格的限制。虽然有丰富的资源管理以前的工作，一直缺乏研究，以解决移动的系统的资源相互依赖性的复杂问题。例如，大多数现代移动的设备采用多种技术来降低它们的能量需求，然而，这些技术集中于各个资源，并且不知道它们的部署可能对其他资源和应用性能产生的影响。此外，在分布式系统中，设备通常是自私的，因为它们管理自己的资源而不考虑远程设备上的资源和应用程序的后果。这个NSF CAREER研究项目正在开发一个实验框架，用于调查这些相互依赖性和设计问题，以及新的服务概念，以提供资源管理解决方案，使多个约束，资源和设备的有效集成。这种新方法被称为明智的资源管理，它摆脱了传统的、孤立的资源管理解决方案，并侧重于预防相互依赖的资源适应所带来的意外副作用。 该项目的更广泛的影响包括一个实验环境，应该作为催化剂，为分布式资源管理的未来研究，铺平了道路，为新的类协议，管理技术和方法来整合它们。这项工作紧密结合了研究和教育活动，使用一个单一的实验测试平台进行研究，教育和推广工作。

The resource constraints of mobile devices put strict limits on the utility and quality of wireless applications in an increasingly nomadic world. While there has been an abundance of previous work on resource management, there has been a dearth of research to address the complex problem of resource interdependencies for mobile systems. For example, most modern mobile devices employ multiple techniques to reduce their energy requirements, however, these techniques focus on individual resources and are unaware of the effects their deployment may have on other resources and application performance. Further, in distributed systems, devices typically are selfish in the sense that they manage their own resources without considering the consequences for resources and applications on remote devices. This NSF CAREER research project is developing both, an experimental framework for investigating these interdependencies and design issues, and new service concepts to provide resource management solutions that enable the efficient integration of multiple constraints, resources, and devices. The new approach, dubbed judicious resource management, moves away from traditional, isolated resource management solutions and focuses on the prevention of unanticipated side effects of interdependent resource adaptations. The broader impacts of this project include an experimental setting that should serve as catalyst for future research on distributed resource management, paving the way for new classes of protocols, management techniques, and approaches to integrate them. This work closely integrates research and education activities, using a single experimental test bed for research, education, and outreach efforts.
