MOMCC: Market-oriented architecture for Mobile Cloud Computing based on Service Oriented Architecture

Abstract

The vision of augmenting computing capabilities of mobile devices, especially smartphones with least cost is likely transforming to reality leveraging cloud computing. Cloud exploitation by mobile devices breeds a new research domain called Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). However, issues like portability and interoperability should be addressed for mobile augmentation which is a non-trivial task using componentbased approaches. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a promising design philosophy embraced by mobile computing and cloud computing communities to stimulate portable, complex application using prefabricated building blocks called Services. Utilizing distant cloud resources to host and run Services is hampered by long WAN latency. Exploiting mobile devices in vicinity alleviates long WAN latency, while creates new set of issues like Service publishing and discovery as well as clientserver security, reliability, and Service availability. In this paper, we propose a market-oriented architecture based on SOA to stimulate publishing, discovering, and hosting Services on nearby mobiles, which reduces long WAN latency and creates a business opportunity that encourages mobile owners to embrace Service hosting. Group of mobile phones simulate a nearby cloud computing platform. We create new role of Service host by enabling unskilled mobile owners/users to host Services developed by skilled developers. Evidently, Service availability, reliability, and Service-oriented mobile application portability will increase towards green ubiquitous computing in our mobile cloud infrastructure.

Energy-efficient service-oriented architecture for mobile cloud handover

“…We analyzed the performance of the proposed (SEEQoSA) that supports the handoff and then compared it with well-known service-oriented architectures designed for mobile cloud computing, including the marketoriented architecture for mobile cloud computing (MOMCC) [28], mobile cloud computing based on the …”

Augmenting Mobile Cloud Computing through Enterprise Architecture: A Survey Paper

“…Saeid et al [6] proposed a component based framework named Mobile Oriented architecture for Mobile Cloud Computing (MOMCC) based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to portability and interoperability issues. The proposed framework resolves the WAN latency problem by employing a group of mobile device in vicinity that simulates a mobile cloud computing platform.…”

An Experimental Analysis on Performance and Energy Saving in Mobile Cloud Computing

“…The decision to offload or not is based on two parameters; the delay tolerance threshold given by the user and the power consumption to execute the application. S. Abolfazli et al [4] proposed a market oriented architecture to publish, discover and host service on nearby mobile which reduces long WAN latency when distant cloud is used and it creates a business prospect to mobile owners. The framework consists of four modules, the service governor responsible for monitoring and managing all the critical tasks, service developer for development of services to be provided to the requester, mobile host is responsible for executing the service request and would be paid by the service governor and finally the service requester.…”
