Abstract

Cloud computing is on-demand computing in which the computing resources are owned and managed by a service provider and the users access the resources via the Internet. But cloud computing potential doesn’t begin and end with the personal computer’s transformation into a thin client. The mobile platform is going to be heavily impacted by this technology as well. License management is a major issue faced by mobile cloud computing paradigm. This paper presents an agent-based license management approach, the MobiLim, for mobile cloud computing. The mobile devices access the services of cloud and pay for the usage to service provider. Independent software vendors (ISVs) control the access to the resource provider resources. MobiLim provides a secure and robust license management solution to the service provider.
