Decomposed cloud games: Design principles and challenges

To support cognitive resource allocation between cloud and terminals, the cloud gaming program is segmented into a set of collaborative components that are migratable from cloud to players´ terminals. In contrary to conventional software architecture, its distributed execution manner introduces new challenges in system design and implementation. In this paper, we present our principle of constructing the decomposed cloud games and discuss the research issues from the perspectives of decomposition granularity, performance evaluation and response delay.
