Recent years have seen a rapid evolution in the hardware and in networks used in mobile computing environments. This evolution has opened up new opportunities for mobile computing. Mobile computing allows a mobile user to access various kinds of information anytime anywhere. However, mobile computing raises the problem of data availability in

Mobile phones have become ubiquitous in today’s society. However, mobile users are no longer satisfied with simple phones but instead expect ever more powerful functions to be available from their mobile devices. Advanced phones known as smartphones allow mobile users to perform a wide variety of advanced handheld functions such as browsing the mobile Internet or finding a nearby theater showin...

The majority of the existing research regarding mobile learning in computing education has primarily focused on studying the effectiveness of, and in some cases reporting about, implemented mobile learning solutions. However, it is equally important to explore development and application perspectives on the integration of mobile learning into computing education and identify practical implicati...

This paper gives an overview of mobile computing and issues related to the field. The discussion starts with definitions of various terms associated with mobile computing. The diversity of mobile applications is explored to give readers an idea of what mobile computing has to offer, followed by a discussion on the limitations of wireless networks and the issues which have to be addressed in ord...

In the existing mobile edge computing (MEC) environment, servers have limited power and cannot process data in real time. To solve this problem, paper proposes a task segmentation offloading algorithm for (MEC). Firstly, tasks of terminals are segmented under network framework cloud-side-device collaboration, optimization model is designed to minimize total delay devices. Secondly, resource all...

Cloud computing is an emerging concept combining many fields of computing. The foundation of cloud computing is the delivery of services, software and processing capacity over the Internet, reducing cost, increasing storage, automating systems, decoupling of service delivery from underlying technology, and providing flexibility and mobility of information. However, the actual realization of the...

Cloud computing can greatly boost the computing ability of mobile devices. Mobile users can rely on the cloud to perform computationally rigorous operations such as data mining searching and multimedia processing. Even with increasing usage of mobile computing, it is difficult to exploit its ability due to its inherent tribulations such as frequent disconnections, resource insufficiency and mob...

Distributed computing is beginning to extend its scope to address problems relevant to a mobile environment (mobile computing). For the most part, current research efforts in mobile computing and ad hoc networking are implicitly aimed at mobile telephony and the emerging field of ubiquitous computing. More generally, this paper considers distributed computing environments in which hosts are (ph...
