Problem regarding BaseVm about elijah-cloudlet

[krha]

Hi @crazysainath3

(1)Should i write code for the server to run the Face Recognition app or does the Elijah cloudlet master zip file ontain code for the server?

This code is about Virtual Machine Synthesis that aimed to provide Rapid provisioning of a custom virtual machine. This does not include any codes for the mobile application, rather it provides functions to create VM overlay and perform VM Synthesis that will rapidly reconstruct your custom VM at an arbitrary computer.

At the paper, we have show 5 applications including face recognition, but none of them are open source yet at this point since they're developed by independent groups. I'm trying to make, at least one of them, them open source under Apache license as an example application running in this system, but no fixed schedule yet (Sorry about that).

Please read this paper for the concept of cloudlet http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~satya/docdir/satya-ieeepvc-cloudlets-2009.pdf and you can find the details implementation at http://krha.kr/data/publications/vmsynthesis2013.pdf

(3)Is any specific OS necessary for the guest VM or can the Android client work with any guest VM?

We have tested Windows7 and Ubuntu 10.04(desktop, server), 12.04 (desktop, server) and we believe all the guest VM you can run with conventional KVM, you can run with Cloudlet.

Regarding Android client, please give me more details. Android client will work with any guest VM since it's just TCP client, but I don't think that the point of your question.

Hii,
/elijahcloudmaster/src/netclient/applications what does this folder contain?

Hi @crazysainath3

It was originally ./src/client/applications directory.
I have been working on better packaging of cloudlet code and changed directory structure a little bit.

The directory is python TCP client for my testing applications such as face recognition, speech recognition, and etc. The server side code is not included in this repository because of license issue (applications are developed by different groups).

If you run "fab localhost install" again, now cloudlet code will be applied to system-wide (You might want to copy elijah-cloudlet/src/synthesis/config/cloudlet.db to $HOME/.cloudlet/config/cloudlet.db to keep your BASE VM information)

[SainathK333]

Can you specify some websites or E-resources which can help me writing the server side code?

[krha]

Well,

Here I meant by server-side is just any types of TCP program. For example, simple chatting server/client program like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1020839/how-to-make-a-simple-command-line-chat-in-python

Or, You can simple check funtionality by installing webserver at VM.
