The document summarizes a workshop presentation on mobile cloud computing. The presentation discusses how cloud computing concepts can be applied to mobile applications, allowing data storage and processing to occur remotely. It outlines benefits like scalability, reduced complexity, and cost savings. Examples are given of augmented mobile applications that leverage cloud resources for intensive tasks. The presentation also explores trends like pay-as-you-use models and the potential of HTML5 for mobile web applications.

Future Mobile

– Costs are based on consumption (CPU cycles, storage)
Applications
26 Feb. 2010
– Not having to buy and configure new equipment
– No software/hardware maintenance
Dejan Kovachev
 Large data volumes
– US American consume 34 GB per day (2009)
 Smartphones are massively used
– Possibilities for new complex applications
– But limited hardware
 Broadband mobile internet

data processing happen outside of the mobile device
Applications
26 Feb. 2010
Dejan Kovachev  Part of the cloud computing spectrum
– Consider seamless and transparent integration between
computers, the Web and phones
 Integration with other services and sensor data
 Illusions of the architecture (Chun & Mantiatis 2009)
– Mobile user has a much more powerful,
feature-rich device

Future Mobile 
Applications
26 Feb. 2010 – Local storage good for performance
Dejan Kovachev
– But if battery goes empty, or phone lost
– Data reliability & data availability
 Cloud processing
– Off-loading intensive computations
– Local vs. remote processing
 Scalable resources on-demand
 Less complexity
