Performance of Cloudlet-based Multilingual Dictionary

Published: 02 September 2015 Publication History

Abstract

Mobile devices are taking a huge part of people's everyday lives. They have brought various functionalities at our fingertips. Mobile users can use various mobile applications and execute them on their mobile devices. However, most of the applications need additional resources in order to run smoothly and without delays. Therefore, external resources are used as an alternative method to successfully execute mobile applications.
The purpose of this paper is to compare the performances of translating various n-grams executed on a cloud and on a cloudlet by using a specifically developed mobile application. Execution outcomes of this application are multilingual translation pairs of unigrams, bigrams, trigrams and entire phrases based on the previously created glossary of Macedonian words in the field of software engineering generated in our previous study.
The research goal of current study was to check whether the performance achieved by using a cloudlet solution is better than the cloud based server solution. The second research goal was to analyze the average performance of the application when multilingual translation took place, and compare it with the performance during the single language translations. These goals will show if it is beneficial to use a cloudlet based solution for mobile device.
