Abstract

Realizing efficient models that are capable of handling massive amounts of mobile multimedia data is an essential component of achieving the vision of smart future cities. In order for a model to be truly effective, it can not be based solely on improving the hardware of mobile devices. Instead, utilizing software solutions and tools provided by the emerging field of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) provides results that could not be otherwise possible. In MCC, parts of mobile applications are executed in remote servers that provide powerful computational resources. As such, the performance of mobile devices is significantly increased since the heavy computational load is being handled in the cloud. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive analysis and comparisons of current MCC models that are meant to increase mobile devices performance and utility. In particular, we provide a critical discussion related to the applicability of such models, and we compare these models using a devised set of criteria that affect the performance and reliability of effective Mobile Cloud Application models.
