VCRTS - Vehicular Cloud Real-Time System

Overview

VCRTS is a distributed cloud computing system that leverages parked vehicles' computational resources to create a static cloud computing environment. The system enables vehicle owners to monetize their parked vehicles' computing power while providing clients with computational resources for their jobs.

Key Components

Client Side (TheClientGUI)

• User registration and authentication
• Job submission interface
• Real-time job status monitoring
• Resource usage tracking

Server Side (TheServerGUI)

• Cloud controller administration
• Resource allocation management
• Job scheduling and monitoring
• System status dashboard

Core Features

User Management

• Vehicle Owner registration/login
• Job Submitter (Client) registration/login
• Cloud Controller administration

Vehicle Resource Management

• Vehicle registration with specs (VIN, computational power, storage)
• Residency time tracking
• Resource availability monitoring

Job Processing

• FIFO job scheduling
• Automated completion time calculation
• Job status tracking
• Priority-based job management

Technical Stack

• Backend: Java
• Frontend: Java Swing
• Database: MySQL
• Authentication: Custom implementation with database integration

Database Schema

• Users (Vehicle Owners, Job Submitters, Cloud Controllers)
• Vehicles (Resources)
• Jobs
• Vehicle Assignments
