Abstract

The rise of mobile devices and the Internet of Things has generated vast data which require efficient processing methods. Volunteer Computing (VC) is a distributed network that utilises idle resources from diverse devices for task completion. VC offers a cost-effective and scalable solution for computation resources. Mobile Volunteer Computing (MVC) capitalises on the abundance of mobile devices as participants. However, managing a large number of participants in the network presents a challenge in scheduling resources. Various resource allocation algorithms and MVC platforms have been developed, but there is a lack of survey papers summarising these systems and algorithms. This paper aims to bridge the gap by delivering a comprehensive survey of MVC, including related technologies, MVC architecture, and major finding in taxonomy of resource allocation in MVC.
