Mobile-Cloud: A Framework of Cloud Computing for Mobile Application

Abstract

The proliferation of mobile computing and cloud services is driving a revolutionary change in our information society. We are moving into the Ubiquitous Computing age in which a user utilizes, at the same time, several electronic platforms through which he can access all the required information whenever and wherever needed. The mobile devices provides the easiest solution for ubiquitous access through wireless network. Mobile users can use their cellular phone to check e-mail, browse internet; travelers with portable computers can surf the internet from airports, railway stations etc. The mobile capabilities can be integrated with cloud computing services to give more secure and advanced services to the subscribers. The emerging domain of Mobile-Cloudextends the Mobile Computing paradigm to the sharing of cloud resources in distributed computing environment. A Mobile-cloud is the result of the integration of mobile application with the cloud. In this paper we propose a Mobile Cloud Computing architecture to integrate mobile application with various cloud services. Our Paper aims at using cloud computing techniques for storage and processing of data on mobile devices, thereby reducing their limitations.
