Mobile Cloud Computing Architectural Design Taxonomy toward the ‘Cloud Computing in Hand’ Era

Beyond the hybrid cloud computing and its integration service, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) starts to cultivate personal cloud computing areas with enormous services and applications with rapid increase of personal use of mobile devices. This paper presents the motivation of MCC with unique features which are discriminated from those of traditional cloud computing, and also shows the architectural design strategies with recent technologies to realize the MCC. We organize the taxonomy of architectural design strategy under five focuses: data-intensive architectural design, mobile processing-oriented design, service-aware design, privacy-sensitive design, and analytical-purpose design. We also outline the design metrics to archive a smart MCC.
