Abstract

Cloud computing is the latest trend in computing and it is established as the newest big shift in the computing. For some, the notion of managing and storing data in a centralized, 'Always-On' repository that can be accessed from anywhere is the key. This paper describe the limitations and challenges in respect of consuming cloud services through mobile devices as well as best served existing solutions. In addition, proposed middleware architecture is discussed with detailed scenario which would be able to provide runtime support and a supportive mechanism for the mobile devices in order to consume or access cloud services.
