Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are getting essential to wireless communications because of the growing popularity of mobile devices. However, mobile devices face several challenges in their resources (eg., battery life, storage, and bandwidth) and communication (e.g., mobility and, security). Limited resources considerably impede the improvement of service qualities. MCC permits resources in cloud computing platforms to be used to overcome the dearth of native resources in mobile devices. However, this hinders a mobile user from taking part in a cloud computing service if a connection to the cloud computing platform is both unobtainable or too dear to afford. Therefore, an initial solution will be to use resources from nearby devices instantly. Such a paradigm is known as mobile ad hoc cloud computing where each mobile device can use the services and resources of its neighbor devices. This paper shortly explains the contributions done by us to overcome the three vital operational limitations of mobile devices namely connectivity, storage and, processing capability through the Mobile Ad Hoc Cloud Computing Paradigm. The potential promise of the proposed approaches is evaluated through simulations. Our proposals, taken together intend to increase the operational efficiency of MANETs.

<p class="zhengwen">The current proliferation of mobile systems, such as smart phones and tablets, has let to their adoption as the primary computing platforms for many users. This trend suggests that designers will continue to aim towards the convergence of functionality on a single mobile device (such as phone + mp3 player + camera + Web browser + GPS + mobile apps + sensors). However, this conjunction penalizes the mobile system both with respect to computational resources such as processor speed, memory consumption, disk capacity, and in weight, size, ergonomics and the component most important to users, battery life. Therefore, energy consumption and response time are major concerns when executing complex algorithms on mobile devices because they require significant resources to solve intricate problems.</p><p>Offloading mobile processing is an excellent solution to augment mobile capabilities by migrating computation to powerful infrastructures. Current cloud computing environments for performing complex and data intensive computation remotely are likely to be an excellent solution for offloading computation and data processing from mobile devices restricted by reduced resources. This research uses cloud computing as processing platform for intensive-computation workloads while measuring energy consumption and response times on a Samsung Galaxy S5 Android mobile phone running Android 4.1OS.</p>

Due to the constant performance upgrades and regular price reductions of mobile devices in recent years, users are able to take advantage of the various  devices to obtain digital content regardless of the limitations of time and place. The increasing use of e-books has stimulated new e-learning approaches. This research project developed an e-book hub service on a cloud computing platform in order to overcome the limitations of computing capability and storage capacity that are inherent in many mobile devices. The e-book hub service also allows users to automatically adjust the rendering of multimedia pages at different resolutions on terminal units such as smartphones, tablets, PCs, and so forth. We implemented an e-book hub service on OpenStack, which is a free and open-source cloud computing platform supported by multiple large firms. The OpenStack platform provides a large-scale distributed computing environment that allows users to build their own cloud systems in a public, private, or hybrid environment. Our e-book hub system offers content providers an easy-to-use cloud computing service with unlimited storage capacity, fluent playback, high usability and scalability, and high security characteristics to produce, convert, and manage their e-books. The integration of information and communication technologies has led the traditional publishing industry to new horizons with abundant digital content publications. Results from this study may help content providers create a new service model with increased profitability and enable mobile device users to easily get digital content, thereby achieving the goal of e-learning.<br /><br />

Mobile Health (mHealth) applications (apps) are being widely used to monitor health of patients with chronic medical conditions with the proliferation and the increasing use of smartphones. Mobile devices have limited computation power and energy supply which may lead to either delayed alarms, shorter battery life or excessive memory usage limiting their ability to execute resource-intensive functionality and inhibit proper medical monitoring. These limitations can be overcome by the integration of mobile and cloud computing (Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC)) that expands mobile devices' capabilities. With the advent of different MCC architectures such as implementation of mobile user-side tools or network-side architectures it is hence important to decide a suitable architecture for mHealth apps. We survey MCC architectures and present a comparative analysis of performance against a resource demanding representative testing scenario in a prototype mHealth app. This work will compare numerically the mobile cloud architectures for a case study mHealth app for Endocrine Hormonal Therapy (EHT) adherence. Experimental results are reported and conclusions are drawn concerning the design of the prototype mHealth app system using the MCC architectures.

Mobile Cloud Computing utilizes cloud computing in the mobile internet. It takes the advantage of portability of mobile devices, and uses cloud computing to make up mobile devices' shortcomings, i.e., the capabilities of computation and storage. With the advent of cloud computing, more and more IT companies establish their own cloud computing platforms by using Hadoop, which gradually makes Hadoop a distributed cloud computing platform. By considering important attributes of mobile devices, e.g., low computation workload, high concurrency, and high real-time demand, we propose in this paper a local scheduling algorithm which is based on Hadoop mobile cloud computing, and we analyze the influence of response time and throughput on the system utility.

AbstractIn the Internet of Things (IoT) era, the capacity-limited Internet and uncontrollable service delays for various new applications, such as video streaming analysis and augmented reality, are challenges. Cloud computing systems, also known as a solution that offloads energy-consuming computation of IoT applications to a cloud server, cannot meet the delay-sensitive and context-aware service requirements. To address this issue, an edge computing system provides timely and context-aware services by bringing the computations and storage closer to the user. The dynamic flow of requests that can be efficiently processed is a significant challenge for edge and cloud computing systems. To improve the performance of IoT systems, the mobile edge orchestrator (MEO), which is an application placement controller, was designed by integrating end mobile devices with edge and cloud computing systems. In this paper, we propose a flexible computation offloading method in a fuzzy-based MEO for IoT applications in order to improve the efficiency in computational resource management. Considering the network, computation resources, and task requirements, a fuzzy-based MEO allows edge workload orchestration actions to decide whether to offload a mobile user to local edge, neighboring edge, or cloud servers. Additionally, increasing packet sizes will affect the failed-task ratio when the number of mobile devices increases. To reduce failed tasks because of transmission collisions and to improve service times for time-critical tasks, we define a new input crisp value, and a new output decision for a fuzzy-based MEO. Using the EdgeCloudSim simulator, we evaluate our proposal with four benchmark algorithms in augmented reality, healthcare, compute-intensive, and infotainment applications. Simulation results show that our proposal provides better results in terms of WLAN delay, service times, the number of failed tasks, and VM utilization.


Mobile adhoc networks (MANETs) have drawn attention to multitudinous consideration because of the univerality of mobile devices as well as the developments in wireless era. MANET is a peer-to-peer multi hop cellular wireless era community which does not have both difficult and speedy infrastructure and a relevant server. Every vertex of a MANET performs like a router and communicates with every unique. There exist numerous information duplication strategies which were presented to reduce the execution squalor. All are concluded that everyone cell vertices cooperate completely from the perspective of sharing their memory vicinity. But, via a few methods few vertices might additionally behave selfishly and determine simplest to cooperate in part or never with different vertices. The selfish vertices ought to then lessen the overall information approachability within the network. From this work, we try to take a look at the influence of selfish vertices in a mobile ad hoc community in terms of reproduction issuance i.e Selfish nodes are dealt with in replica allocation.

The cloud computing paradigm offers an innovative and promising vision concerning Information and Communications Technology. Actually, it provides the possibility of improving IT systems management and is changing the way in which hardware and software are designed and purchased. This paper introduces challenges in Global Software Development (GSD) and application of cloud computing platforms as a solution to some problems. Even though cloud computing provides compelling benefits and cost-effective options for GSD, new risks and difficulties must be taken into account. Thus, the paper presents a study about the risk issues involved in cloud computing. It highlights the different types of risks and how their existence can affect GSD. It also proposes a new risk management process model. The risk model employs new processes for risk analysis and assessment. Its aim is to analyse cloud risks quantitatively and, consequently, prioritise them according to their impact on different GSD objectives.

Proposed a new trust model based on P2P technology in the cloud computing environment. The model takes into account more than one cloud computing platform, that is, considering the different cloud computing service provider provide the service of a cross-cloud platform. Such cross-platform cloud (Cross Cloud) can be called the composite cloud computing platform or cloud associated cloud computing platform.The nodes in the cloud computing environment are divided into two categories: customers and providers. According to the different roles of these two nodes, we designed a different trust mechanism, to divide the trust domain with independent single cloud, considered node independence and manageability of domain to process trust choice and trust update, and proposed a new kind of cloud computing service - trust recommendation service.
