Towards Approximating The Mean Time To Failure in Vehicular Clouds

This document discusses a study on approximating the mean time to failure in vehicular clouds. The study envisions a vehicular cloud using cars parked at an airport parking lot as a distributed data center. The cars would be plugged in and connected to provide computational resources. However, the availability of these resources is unpredictable as cars enter and leave the parking lot. The study contributes redundancy-based job assignment strategies to mitigate the effect of this volatility. It offers a theoretical analysis of the mean time to failure of these strategies and simulations confirming the accuracy of the predictions.

Towards Approximating the Mean Time to Failure in Vehicular Clouds

Abstract :

In this work, we envision a vehicular cloud involving cars in the parking lot of a major
airport. The owners of these cars are typically on travel for several days, providing a
pool of cars that can serve as the basis for a data center at the airport. We assume that
the cars that participate in the vehicular cloud are plugged into a standard power outlet
and are provided wireless connection to a central server at the airport. The defining
difference between vehicular and conventional clouds lies in the distributed ownership
and, consequently, the unpredictable availability of computational resources. As cars
enter and leave the parking lot, new computational resources become available while
others depart, creating a dynamic environment where the task of efficiently assigning
cars to jobs becomes very challenging. Our main contribution is a family of redundancy-
based job assignment strategies that mitigate the effect of resource volatility in vehicular
clouds. We offer a theoretical analysis of the mean time to failure of these strategies. A
comprehensive set of simulations has confirmed the accuracy of our theoretical
predictions.
