Includes a preface written by Professor Leonard Kleinrock,
Distinguished Professor of Computer Science, "UCLA, USA"
This book discusses and explores the concept of "mobile cloud,"
creating an inspiring research space for exploiting opportunistic
resource sharing, and covering from theoretical research approaches
to the development of commercially profitable ideas.
A "mobile cloud "is a cooperative arrangement of dynamically
connected communication nodes sharing opportunistic resources. In
this book, authors provide a comprehensive and motivating overview
of this rapidly emerging technology. The book explores how
distributed resources can be shared by mobile users in very
different ways and for various purposes. The book provides many
stimulating examples of resource-sharing applications. Enabling
technologies for "mobile clouds "are also discussed, highlighting
the key role of network coding. "Mobile clouds "have the potential
to enhance communications performance, improve utilization of
resources and create flexible platforms to share resources in very
novel ways.
Energy efficient aspects of "mobile clouds "are discussed in
detail, showing how being cooperative can bring mobile users
significant energy saving. The book presents and discusses multiple
examples of "mobile" "clouds "applications, based on both existing
commercial initiatives as well as proof-of-concept test-beds.
Visions and prospects are also discussed, paving the way for
further development. As mobile networks and social networks become
more and more reliant on each other, the concept of resource
sharing takes a wider and deeper meaning, creating the foundations
for a global real-time multidimensional resource pool, the
underlying infrastructure for shareconomy. Above all, this is an
inspiring book for anyone who is concerned about the future of
wireless and mobile communications networks and their relationship
with Social networks.
Key Features: Provides fundamental ideas and promising concepts
for exploiting opportunistic cooperation and cognition in wireless
and mobile networksGives clear definitions of "mobile clouds "from
different perspectivesAssociates mobile and wireless networks with
social networks, creating a vast fertile ground for novel
developments in both research and practical applicationsConsiders
research directions, emerging trends and visions
This book is an excellent resource for wireless/networking
researchers in industry and academia, students and mobile phone
programmers. Managers interested in new technology developments,
service providers, network operators, and those working in the
gaming industry will also find the book insightful.
