The main purpose of this research was to gain an understanding of the adoption behavior of mobile computing in Saudi Arabia. In particular, it aimed to acquire new insight into mobile computing trends in Saudi Arabia, in order to develop hypotheses and formulate precise criteria for mobile computing evaluation. In order to achieve these aims, a focus group was created through the recruiting of ...

During the last decade the decrease in the size of computing machinery, coupled with the increase in their computing power has led to the development of the concept of mobile computing. Mobile Computing is a generic term is evolved in modern usage such that it requires that the mobile computing activity be connected wirelessly to and through the internet or to and through a private network. Now...

Mobile computing is one of the main emerging technologies in modern era. Mobile computing allows for data transmission, audio and video through a computer or any kind of wireless equipment without connecting to a fixed physical line. Most major problems in mobile computing cache management are data availability, high bandwidth consumption, data access delay and packet loss, failures in database...

Recently, mobile computing has received much attention from database community. Sharing information among mobile users is one of the most challenging issues in mobile computing due to user mobility. Replication is a promising technique to this issue. However, adopting replication into mobile computing is a non-trivial task, since we are still facing other problems such as the lack in disk capac...

The issue of management and allocation of resources in cloud computing environments, according to the breadth of scale and modern technology implementation, is a complicated issue. Issues such as: the heterogeneity of resources, resource dependencies to each other, the dynamics of the environment, virtualization, workload diversity as well as a wide range of management objectives of cloud servi...

The mobile computing paradigm has emerged due to advances in wireless or cellular networking technology. This rapidly expanding technology poses many challenging research problems in the area of mobile database systems. Mobile users can access information independent of their physical location through wireless connections. However, accessing and manipulating information without restricting user...

Cloud computing is a paradigm in high performance computing, focuses on provisioning ubiquitous computing with the help of Software and/or Hardware Virtualization. In Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), mobile/portable devices access cloud resources through wireless communication(GPRS/3G/WiFi etc). MCC enhances the mobility of the cloud user which solves cloud computing issues such as Unreliability, ...
