Mobile Cloud Computing: Foundations and Service Models combines cloud computing, mobile computing and wireless networking to bring new computational resources for mobile users, network operators and cloud computing providers.

The book provides the latest research and development insights on mobile cloud computing, beginning with an exploration of the foundations of cloud computing, existing cloud infrastructures classifications, virtualization techniques and service models.

It then examines the approaches to building cloud services using a bottom-up approach, describing data center design, cloud networking and software orchestration solutions, showing how these solutions support mobile devices and services.

The book describes mobile cloud clouding concepts with a particular focus on a user-centric approach, presenting a distributed mobile cloud service model called POEM to manage mobile cloud resource and compose mobile cloud applications. It concludes with a close examination of the security and privacy issues of mobile clouds.

- Shows how to construct new mobile cloud based applications
- Contains detailed approaches to address security challenges in mobile cloud computing
- Includes a case study using vehicular cloud

The book is organized in three parts. Part 1 covers the fundamentals. After an extremely helpful taxonomy, mobile platforms including iOS and Android are introduced, and computation offloading, the most popular mobile cloud service, is described. Next, Virtualization is introduced as the most important enabling technology for mobility. Besides virtualization concepts developed for the Internet Cloud such as computation, network, storage virtualization and Hypervisor, Mobile device virtualization techniques (e.g., BYOD and KVM over ARM) are presented. Finally, MCC service models are described, starting as usual from Internet Cloud services – (IaaS), (PaaS), (SaaS) – and moving next to existing mobile cloud service models with plenty of use-case examples, and concluding with mobile IoT microservices. Part 2 reports on current research and development of mobile cloud computing leveraging the author’s own work, in particular POEM, an open service framework based on OSGi and XMPP and offering an offloading and composition system for MCCs. Part 3 is dedicated to security.
