Fault Tolerance in Vehicular Cloud Computing

Roughly a decade ago, inspired by the phenomenal success of cloud computing, a group of researchers have defined Vehicular Clouds as a group of vehicles whose sensing, communication, and computing resources can be coordinated and allocated to authorized users. While both conventional and Vehicular Clouds are instances of utility computing, a number of important characteristics set vehicular clouds apart from their conventional counterparts. These characteristics include the mobility of vehicles and the volatility of resources that fluctuate with the arrival and departure of vehicles. Our main contribution is to enhance the dependability of VC through a family of redundancy-based job assignment strategies that mitigates the effect of resource volatility in VCs.
