The rapidly developing cloud computing and virtualization techniques provide mobile devices with battery energy saving opportunities by allowing them to offload computation and execute applications remotely. A mobile device should judiciously determine whether to offload computation and which portion of application should be offloaded to the cloud. This paper considers a mobile cloud computing ...

Mobile cloud computing is a new technology that enhances smartphone applications capabilities in terms of performance, energy efficiency, and execution support. These features are achieved via computation offloading technique that is supported by specialized mobile cloud application development models. However, the cloud-enabled applications are prone to application piracy issue for which the t...

Cloud computing (CC) and mobile cloud computing (MCC) have advanced rapidly the last few years. Today, MCC undergoes fast improvement and progress in terms of hardware (memory, embedded sensors, power consumption, touch screen, etc.) software (more and more sophisticated mobile applications) and transmission (higher data transmission rates achieved with different technologies such as 3Gs). This...

grid computing is a term referring to the combination of computer resources from multiple administrative domains to reach a common computational platform. mobile computing is a generic word that introduces using of movable, handheld devices with wireless communication, for processing data. mobile computing focused on providing access to data, information, services and communications anywhere an...

The adoption of mobile application is increasing at enormous rate due to their improved functionality and features. Increased storage and computing power has augmented its utility. However, these mobile applications are still intrinsically limited by a relative lack of bandwidth, computing power, storage and energy compared to desktops. To overcome these limitations, the concept of Mobile Cloud...

In this paper, we present and evaluate an architecture based on mobile agent for cloud computing, The cloud computing are mainly used for the treatment of loads computer work very intensive and provide very large storage of data, these two objectives are combined with the third goal of potentially reducing management costs and use, cloud computing is attractive to business owners as it eliminat...

The web was first design to just provide information that could be hosted over traditional client server model, the fast growth of web content and large numbers of web content today, trend to utilize the cloud computing and hyper mobile web, which provide instant computing power, scalability, availability, saving time and administration effort. Today there is an increasing demand for accessing ...

Mobile users spend a tremendous amount of time surfing multimedia contents over the Internet to pursue their interests. A resource-constrained smart device demands more intensive computing tasks and lessens the battery life. To address the resource limitations (i.e., memory, lower maintenance cost, easier access, computing tasks) in mobile devices, mobile cloud computing is needed. Several appr...
