Given the advances in mobile phones, users start to consider a mobile phone a personal information processing tool. So users want to execute its various operations on the top of mobile devices. Researchers have long recognized that mobile hardware is necessarily resource poor relative to static client and server hardware. Mobile cloud computing (MCC) which combines mobile computing and cloud co...

Mobile computing is an ever-growing research area. Due to temporary drawbacks of current mobile hardware technology and intrinsic mobility, computation on mobile devices will always be a compromise in most research work. Mobile computing can seamlessly augment the cognitive and collaborative abilities of users by using interactive capabilities in computing system. With cloud computing technolog...

T wo of the most important technological developments of the last few years are the emergence of mobile and cloud computing. By shifting the hardware and staffing costs of managing the computational infrastructure to third parties—such as Google, Microsoft, or Amazon—cloud computing has made it possible for small organizations and individuals to deploy world-scale services while paying only the...

With the rapid proliferation of mobile devices, mobile cloud computing is emerging as an increasingly omnipresent paradigm enabling users to use battery-powered mobile devices to access a wide range of compute-intensive applications hosted on the clouds. Often, the assumption is that mobile devices consume less power when they access an application run on the cloud than when the application is ...

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has revolutionized the way in which mobile subscribers across the globe leverage services on the go. The mobile devices have evolved from mere devices that enabled voice calls only a few years back to smart devices that enable the user to access value added services anytime, anywhere. MCC integrates cloud computing into the mobile environment and overcomes obstacles...

migration of virtual machine (vm) is a critical challenge in cloud computing. the process to move vms or applications from one physical machine (pm) to another is known as vm migration. in vm migration several issues should be considered. one of the major issues in vm migration problem is selecting an appropriate pm as a destination for a migrating vm. to face this issue, several approaches are...

With the recent advances in cloud computing and the capabilities of mobile devices, the state-of-the-art of mobile computing is at an inflection point, where compute-intensive applications can now run on today’s mobile devices with limited computational capabilities. This is achieved by using the communications capabilities of mobile devices to establish high-speed connections to vast computati...
