Latency-Oblivious Distributed Task Scheduling for Mobile Edge Computing
2018
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is emerging as one of the effective platforms for offloading the resource- and latency-constrained computational services of modern mobile applications. For latency- and resource-constrained mobile devices, the important issues include: 1) minimize end-to-end service latency; 2) minimize service completion time; 3) high quality-of-service (QoS) requirement to offload the complex computational services. To address the above issues, a latencyoblivious distributed task scheduling scheme is designed in this work to maximize the QoS performance and goodput for the MEC services. Unlike most of the existing works, we consider the latency-oblivious property of different …

2022
Smartphones have been integrated into nearly every aspect of human life. Because of them, being entertained, communicating with others, and finding information has never been easier. Even though such possibilities are positive on the surface, the versatile nature of smartphones has also created issues, such as people using them compulsively or excessively. By collecting and analyzing data from 30 semistructured interviews, we explored how users may experience craving unstoppable/uncontrollable desire to use, despite the negative consequences) that make them use smartphones compulsively or excessively. Such use may eventually lead to technostress, which is stress caused by technology use. We…

Towards a sociology of the mobile phone
2005
Use of the mobile phone is an immensely significant social and cultural phenomenon. However, market hype and utopian dreams greatly exaggerate its importance. The fundamental issue for sociology is the process of change. Bound up with contemporary issues of change, the mobile phone is a prime object for sociological attention both at the macro and micro levels of analysis. This article considers the strengths and weaknesses of four methods for studying the sociality of the mobile phone (social demography; political economy; conversation, discourse and text analysis; and ethnography), the different kinds of knowledge they produce, and the interests they represent. Recent ethnographic researc…
