With fast growing research in the area of application partitioning for offloading, determining which devices to prioritize over the other for mobile code offloading is fundamental. Multiple methods can be adopted using both single-criterion and multiple-criteria strategies. Due to the characteristics of pervasive environments, whereby devices having different computing capability, different level of privacy and security and the mobility nature in such environment makes the decision-making process complex. To this end, this paper proposes a method using a combination of the method Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to calculate weights criteria of participating devices. Next the fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is considered to sort in order of priority the participating devices, hence facilitating the decision to opt for which participating device first. An evaluation of the method is also presented.
