Abstract


Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is intended to improve the execution of applications on mobile devices through the processing power provided by cloud computing. Several MCC works analyze the influence of the network conditions onto the accomplishment of computation offloading; however, many of these works use single-device scenarios, which do not fit into a classic cloud computing environment, where multiple users interact simultaneously with a service. This work presents a tool that uses Docker containers to create MCC experimentation environments with multiple mobile devices and cloudlets. By using the proposed tool, developers and researchers will be able to create more realistic experimentation scenarios to test their applications.
