Green Mobile Cloud Computing

The primary purpose of this book is to present the state-of-the-art of mobile cloud computing and applications with an emphasis on energy-efficiency. The future research directions are also highlighted in this book to enrich the global market-place of mobile cloud computing services facilitating the scientific, industrial, business, and consumer applications. We expect that the book will serve as a reference to a large number of readers including researchers, system architects, practitioners, and graduate-level students. 


This book focuses on an emerging area that has considerable research interest, momentum, and interest of commercial developers. The target reader of this book are professional developers, under-graduate and post-graduate students, and researchers. As mobile cloud computing, as well as green computing, will have a major impact on the quality of science and society over the next few years, its knowledge will enrich our readers to be at the forefront of the field.


This book reports the latest research advances in the area of green mobile cloud computing. The book covers the architecture, services, methods, applications, and future research directions of green mobile cloud computing.
