In this research, we address resourced-constrained mobile devices\u2019 ability to get computing support from external sources. This could enhance the performance of their applications and extend their battery life by resource augmentation techniques where more powerful computing sources support the mobile devices. We investigate this in the context of both Cyber Foraging Systems where supporting computing sources exist within the local network and Mobile Cloud environment where these sources exist in the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
