Eyes in the Sky: A Free of Charge Infrastructure-less Mobile Ad-hoc Cloud

The evolution of Ad-hoc Clouds has become completely inspiring. Therefore, the usage of free resources distributed around us such as 'Cloud as a Service' is witnessing a great importance. Ubiquitous computing turned out to be a fact that has many unutilized resources. These unutilized resources can be used to create Ad-hoc Cloud. In this paper, we create a novel mobile ad-hoc cloud based on a network of interconnected low cost, small size, resource constrained and widely available devices. We present a novel application to detect criminals using low cost equipment. This way the application can be considered a method that compensates the total cost that was needed for creating the cloud infrastructure and operational cost. Simulation studies showed that the performance of the created ad-hoc cloud is acceptable in comparison with a small scale conventional cloud hosting container based distributed application.
