Abstract

Mobile Cloud Computing widens the service of existing facility of cloud computing paradigm to user applications executing in mobile/portable devices, called mobile applications. It enables existing cloud services to serve these applications, thereby helps to overcome the inherent limitations of mobile$/$portable devices. However, the use of cloud services in existing architecture require tight coupling between mobile applications and cloud services, which is highly undesirable in dynamic and unreliable mobile cloud computing. A new architecture of mobile cloud computing, where interactions between mobile applications and cloud services will be decoupled, is proposed in this paper. Tuple space model is used for uncoupling these interactions in proposed architecture, improving flexibility and efficiency of mobile cloud computing to a great extent. This paper also suggests an approach of formalizing proposed architecture to depict the uncoupling of service access and delivery to mobile applications. Formalization is carried out using Mobile UNITY.
