Towards selective mobile cloud services

Abstract

Mobile cloud computing is a promising technology for the near future. It aims to integrate mobile devices with cloud computing, and offers to mobile users an online access to unlimited space storage and computing power. Furthermore, the development of pervasive and cloud applications is increasing because mobile client needs to utilize smarter mobile applications which are suitable for his situation. Thus, in this paper we propose a middleware that provides an intelligent behavior for selecting and adapting cloud services according to the current user's context. Besides, we propose a context-aware algorithm aiming to exploit location and preference of mobile user to select the adequate cloud resource.
