Fusion featuring unified system interface for outsourcing native mobile apps

Abstract

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has become an integral part of everyone s life and is a prominent domain that seeks to bring the massive advantages of the cloud to the constrained smartphones. With the mobile cloud, users connect to their applications and data residing on remote data centers, and pay only for the services they use. Thus, the cloud offers the benefit of and#8215;high end computation to the end users, and the smartphone offers the and#8215;mobility advantage to able to access services anytime and anywhere. There are different architecture designs that can bind mobile and cloud services; however, there exists some deployment issues. Smartphones typically have an operating system that is modified for mobile device hardware and a restricted set of applications that are available for the modified operating system. Deploying a cloud API on a smartphone therefore introduces many constraints in the development process such as compiler limitations, runtime environment incompatibility, and other dependencies. Moreover, the problem scales further when the app requires integrating services from multiple clouds. newline
