项目摘要

Small computing devices (e.g., smartphones, wearables, etc.) feature a set of hardware resources that programmers often find insufficient to implement an application's business logic. For example, a mobile application's geographic coordinates cannot be determined when running on a device without a GPS sensor. Existing software engineering approaches cannot address the resource scarcity of mobile devices, without either resorting to cloud-based execution or requiring nearby devices share executable code. This project will create a proof-of-concept software architecture and programming abstractions for distributed mobile services: nearby devices using each other's resources without having to accept code to execute from untrusted parties. These technologies can immediately enhance the extant mobile computing ecosystem. As the Internet of Things (IoT) is entering the mainstream of computing, this project can help address the resource scarcity in this domain as well. Involving underrepresented groups in the proposed research activities will provide an effective avenue for broadening participation, in line with the PI's prior activities in this realm.This project addresses the challenges of developing software for devices with limited resources. Although nearby computing devices may possess the missing resources they are willing to share, high dynamicity, lack of trust, and extreme heterogeneity stand on the way of such sharing. The expected contribution is three-fold: (1) a software architecture centered around the concept of the Mobile Service Market (MSM), which leverages the resources of nearby devices, without having the devices share executable code, (2) a programming model to statically select a needed service, configure its device constraints, and have the runtime dynamically select a nearby device to execute the service; the model will be realized as a domain-specific language tailored for the domain of service constraints and communication across heterogeneous, nearby, mobile devices, (3) a rigorous evaluation of the created technologies that realize the proposed new concepts by applying them to real-world mobile applications and benchmarks. Insights gained from conducting this research will help determine how static and dynamic approaches should be combined to be able to define requirements statically, while matching them dynamically with specific nearby devices in a context-specific fashion.

小型计算设备（例如，智能手机，可穿戴设备等）具有一组硬件资源，程序员通常认为这些资源不足以实现应用程序的业务逻辑。例如，在没有GPS传感器的设备上运行时，无法确定移动应用程序的地理坐标。现有的软件工程方法无法解决移动设备的资源稀缺，而不要么诉诸于基于云的执行或需要附近的设备共享可执行的代码。该项目将为分布式移动服务创建概念验证软件体系结构和编程摘要：使用彼此资源的附近设备，而无需接受代码即可从不受信任的各方执行。这些技术可以立即增强现有的移动计算生态系统。随着物联网（IoT）进入计算的主流，该项目也可以帮助解决该域中的资源稀缺性。与PI在此Real中的先前活动相符的拟议研究活动中，涉及代表性不足的群体将为扩大参与提供有效的途径。该项目解决了为有限资源的设备开发软件的挑战。尽管附近的计算设备可能具有他们愿意分享的丢失资源，但高度动态性，缺乏信任和极端异质性就可以在这种共享的方式上进行。预期的贡献是三重的：（1）围绕移动服务市场（MSM）的概念的软件体系结构，该软件利用附近设备的资源，而没有设备共享可执行的代码，（2）编程模型在静态上选择所需的服务，配置其设备约束，并使运行时间靠近设备可以动态设备执行服务;该模型将被实现为一种针对服务限制的领域量身定制的特定于领域的语言，并在附近，附近的移动设备上进行了跨越的域名，（3）对创建的技术进行了严格的评估，该技术通过将其应用于现实世界移动应用程序和基准标记，以实现拟议的新概念。通过进行这项研究获得的见解将有助于确定应如何将静态和动态方法组合在一起，以便能够在静态上定义需求，同时以特定于上下文的方式将它们与特定的附近设备进行动态匹配。
