Special Issue on Cloud-Assisted Mobile Computing and Pervasive Services
========================================================================
Advances in mobile communication networks and increasing deployments of mobile
smart devices have
brought rich mobile experiences to end users. However, further improvement of
service quality and large
deployment of mobile pervasive services are hampered by resource constraints of
mobile devices and
bandwidth limitations of wireless networks. Recently, mobile cloud computing is
emerging rapidly as an
exciting new paradigm to extend the capabilities of mobile devices and
platforms, which, in turn, are
changing the industrial production and people's daily life. Developments of
innovative pervasive mobile s
ervices, e.g., mobile video streaming, rich media dissemination, surveillance,
e-gaming, e-health care, etc.,
can be greatly facilitated by mobile cloud computing platforms employing
emerged and emerging technologies.
For example, with the support of mobile cloud computing, Body Area Networks
(BANs) can be greatly
enhanced for the deployment of innovative healthcare monitoring applications
with richer multimedia
contents, more reliable service quality and more types of convergence services.
Moreover, adopting the
information-centric and content-centric networking concepts and techniques,
BANs are evolving to enable a
highly flexible and scalable infrastructure for mobile services assisted by
cloud computing. Due to the
intrinsically resource-constrained features of typical mobile devices as well
as smart sensors, it is essential
for the mobile cloud service provider to offer sufficient computational
resources and storage capacity support
for pervasive services, and also maintain a reliable and capable communication
system among the devices.
In addition, the dynamic mobile wireless channel environments with limited
available bandwidth make it difficult
for mobile users to provide consistent and ubiquitous services offered by cloud
systems.
