Scheduling problems for mobile cloud computing

Abstract

Nowadays the popularity of mobile devices is rapidly increased. New facilities of them (Wi-Fi, GPS, high speed processors etc.) allows to improve mobile applications in commerce, learning, gaming, health monitoring, sports etc. But really there are several reasons that limit mobile computing: limited storage capacity, limited battery life and limited processing power of mobile devices. This paper is dedicated to Mobile cloud computing (MCC). We consider MCC as combination of mobile and cloud computing where both data storage and data processing are performed outside the mobile device but inside the cloud.
