Computational Offloading for Mashup Services in Mobile Cloud Computing Environment

The cloud system is considered as the hub of hosted services in which a particular user can access the cloud system remotely by using applications or by using the browsers. Compared to desktop devices, mobile device have inherent constraints such as limited processing power, memory, and battery capacity. With the propagation of mobile cloud applications, researches are looking for new solutions to address these limitations. One of the major solution is mobile cloud computing, which uses cloud infrastructure to enhance the capabilities of mobile device. This paper focuses on an emerging technology known as mobile offloading and mashup. The offloading uses the quality of services concept to remove mobile application limitations. Cloud services are the application programming platform where users can create new applications and mashup their functionalities. The paper describes the quality of services parameters used for offloading in mobile applications and also describes the existing approaches for mobile cloud computing.
