Abstract-Simple Web services can be provided directly from one mobile device acting as a server. However, complex services need a mobile cloud to provide computing resources and infrastructure to support seamless provision of its Web services in a light weight manner. Our approach focuses on the architecture of this mobile cloud, which consists of a set of collaborative mobile devices that relies on an Extended Mobile Host Complex Web service Framework (EMHCWF). The main building blocks of EMHCWF with their associated distributed mechanisms are defined and tested experimentally. Furthermore, the safety properties of mobile cloud infrastructure have been validated using formal methods that are based on process algebra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
