Publication Abstract: 

In this paper, we propose a practical decision engine to offload tasks from mobile devices to the cloud to realize the concept of Energy-as-a-Service. We implemented the decision engine on an Android smartphone and an Amazon ES2 and S3 clouds to conduct experiments to determine the values of system parameters used by the decision engine. The practicality of the decision engine is demonstrated by means of real-world computing scenarios.
