Moving from Mobile Databases to Mobile Cloud Data Services

Abstract

Recently, mobile cloud computing has been named as the top one emerging technology in 2014 by IEEE Computer Society. This brings a strong demand on new emergent mobile data service solutions and technologies in the wireless world and implies that more innovative mobile data service solutions are needed to support on-demand elastic and large-scale mobile data service requests. This paper focuses on mobile data service topic. It first analyzes the existing research results on mobile data services. Then, it discusses cloud-based mobile data service solutions. Finally, the paper examines the issues and challenges on mobile data service in mobile cloud computing.
