Mobile Cloud Computing is an evolving technology that integrates the concept of cloud computing into the mobile environment. Smartphones are boon in the world of technology but they have certain limitations (e.g. battery life, network bandwidth, storage, energy) when running complex applications which require large computations. Using Cloud Computing in mobile phones, these limitations can be a...

This paper presents a vision of mobile-cloud computing systems which looks beyond simply moving data processing from mobile to cloud computing systems and considers a larger vision in which services within the cloud are aggregated and automatically integrated in real-time, based on context, to satisfy the intentions of mobile computing applications. We suggest that research and development of c...

Mobile Cloud Computing is an evolving technology that combines the concept of cloud computing into the mobile environment. With the rise of mobile devices the resource demands of applications also grows. However, mobile devices have limited resources like its storage capacity, battery lifetime, bandwidth etc. These limitations can be overcome by offloading of applications, which is the focus of...

The ubiquity of the cloud computing allows the mobile devices to connect and use the traditional cloud computing services [1]. However, unlike the normal computing machines, the mobile devices are resource constrained. The precincts of low processing power, less storage capacity, limited energy, and the capricious internet connectivity does not allow the compute and storage mandating applicatio...

Mobile cloud computing is gaining popularity among mobile users. The ABI Research predicts that the number of mobile cloud computing subscribers is expected to grow from 42.8 million (1.1% of total mobile users) in 2008 to 998 million (19% of total mobile users) in 2014. Despite the hype achieved by mobile cloud computing, the growth of mobile cloud computing subscribers is still below expectat...

Cloud computing in mobile platforms has invoked a new wave of evolution in the rapidly developing mobile world. Although several striking research work has been conducted in the high computing counterparts of mobile technology, the field of cloud computing for mobile world is vastly unexplored. In this paper, we introduce the concept of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), it’s inner workings and the ...

Despite the rapid growth of hardware capacity and popularity in mobile devices, limited resources in battery and processing capacity still lack the ability to meet the increasing mobile users’ demands. Both conventional techniques and emerging approaches are brought together to fill this gap between the user demand and mobile device’s limited capabilities. Recent research has focused on enhanci...
