Mobile cloud computing involves mobile or embedded devices as clients, and features small devices with constrained resource and low availability. Due to the fast expansion of smart phones and smart peripheral devices, researches on mobile cloud computing attract academia's interest more than ever. Computation offloading, or code offloading, enhances the performance of computation by migrating a part of computation of a mobile system to nearby cloud servers with more computational resources through wired or wireless networks. Code offloading is considered as one of the best approaches overcoming the limited resources of mobile systems. In this paper, we analyze the factors and the performance of code offloading, especially focusing on static program partitioning and data protection. We survey state-of-the-art researches on analyzed topics. We also describe directions for future research.

A vast amount of research has been carried out for executing compute-intensive applications on resource-constrained mobile devices. Computation offloading is a method in which heavy computations are dynamically migrated from a mobile device to a server, exploiting the powerful hardware of the server to perform complex computations. An important issue for offloading is the complexity of reconciling the execution state of applications between the server and the client. To address this issue, snapshot-based offloading has recently been proposed, which utilizes the snapshot of a web app as the portable description of the execution state. However, for web applications using the HTML5 canvas, snapshot-based offloading does not function correctly, because the snapshot cannot capture the state of the canvas. In this paper, we propose a code generation technique to save the canvas state as part of a snapshot, so that the snapshot-based offloading can be applied to web applications using the canvas.

원격 컴퓨팅 환경에서 오프로딩된 사용자의 코드와 데이터를 악의적인 내부 위협자(클라우드 운영체제 등)으로부터 안전하게 지켜주는 하드웨어 신뢰실행환경은 보안성을 위하여 사용되는 메모리 물리 주소가 하나의 실행환경에 귀속되는 공간적 격리(spatial isolation) 모델을 사용한다. 허나 이러한 메모리 모델은 상호작용하는 신뢰실행환경 프로그램들 사이 메모리 공유를 허락하지 않으며, 이는 성능 및 기존 어플리케이션과의 호환성에서의 문제를 야기한다. 본 논문에서는 최근 ARM사에서 발표된 새로운 신뢰실행환경인 기밀 컴퓨팅 아키텍처를 분석하여 메모리 공유 가능성을 파악하고, 공유가 단순히 허용되어 있을 때의 보안 문제와 이에 대한 기본적인 해결책 및 그 한계점을 제시한다.
