Mobile Cloud Computing Research – Issues, Challenges and Needs

Abstract

With the rapid advance of mobile computing technology and wireless networking, there is a significant increase of mobile subscriptions. This drives a strong demand for mobile cloud applications and services for mobile device users. This brings out a great business and research opportunity in mobile cloud computing (MCC). This paper first discusses the market trend and related business driving forces and opportunities. Then it presents an overview of MCC in terms of its concepts, distinct features, research scope and motivations, as well as advantages and benefits. Moreover, it discusses its opportunities, issues and challenges. Furthermore, the paper highlights a research roadmap for MCC.

Design, implementation, and testing of an energy consumption management system applied in Internet protocol data networks
