Abstract: Ad hoc mobile clouds would be suitable for spontaneous ad hoc networks created in situations where the mobile infrastructures are very pervasive and where the interconnection to an infrastructure network is very costly. The advantages of ad hoc mobile clouds are ubiquity, affordability, availability and spontaneity. The provision of an reliable ad hoc MCC framework has to cope with the specific features of spontaneous networks such as the dynamic topology and the scarcity of mobile device resources. The goal of this paper is to propose a protocol handling the setting up and the management of an ad hoc MCC over mobile ad hoc networks. We show by simulations that our proposal has acceptable overhead and energy consumption especially for small networks. The originality of this work consists in providing seamless communication services to mobile cloud frameworks regarding the underlying ad hoc network technology.
