Today's growth of the mobile communication infrastructure made mobile computing systems like cellular phones came next to or surpassed the desktop PCs in popularity due to their mobility. Although the performance of mobile devices is now being improved continuously, it is a current common sense that compute intensive large-scale applications can hardly run on any kind of mobile handset devices. To clear up this problem, we decided to exploit the mobile cluster computing system and surveyed the existing ones first. We found out, however, that most of them are not the actual implementations but a mobile cluster infrastructure proposal or idea suggestions for reliable mobile clustering. To make cell phones participated in cluster computing nodes, in this paper, we propose a redesigned JPVM cluster computing engine and a set of WIPI mobile runtime functions interfacing with it. And we also show the performance evaluation results of real parallel applications running on our Mobile-JPVM cluster computing systems. We find out by the performance evaluation that large-scale applications can sufficiently run on mobile devices such as cellular phones when using our mobile cluster computing engine.

Mutual exclusion that applied on existing systems was designed for static distributed systems. but now computing environments are going to mobile computing environments. Therefore a mutual exclusion algorithm in static distributed environments should be designed for new computing environments. So this paper proposes a mobile mutual exclusion algorithm to support the mutual exclusion of shared resources in mobile computer environments. Mobile computing resources as wireless hosts cause new issues because of their mobility and weakness and made mutual exclusion problem more complex than stationary distributed environments. So we proposed a new mobile token mutual exclusion algorithm with deadlock-free and starvation-free in mobile computing environments based on spanning tree topology and extend for mobile computing environments. The proposed algorithm minimizes message complexity in case of free hopping in cellular networks.

In a recent mobile computing environment, the research for a transaction model have been actively carried out to deal with real-time transaction. However, the research for recovery model is relatively insufficient. Therefore, it would be very important for mobile recovery methods for database stability, just in case of data loss due to hand-off in mobile computing system. So, further efficient research should be keenly done to reduce I/O hand-off in mobile computing systems. SLL method increases I/O time due to sequential file. This paper have been suggested to efficient mobile recovery method in mobile computing system. Finally, it has been clearly demonstrated for system efficiency, conducting the performance assessment that currently proposed recovery system.

Nowadays, mobile computing has become a common computing paradigm that provides convenience to people's daily life. More and more useful mobile applications' appearance makes it possible for a user to manage personal schedule, enjoy entertainment, and do many useful activities. However, there are some inherent defects in a mobile device that battery constraints and bandwidth limitations. These drawbacks get a user into troubles when to run computationally intensive applications. As a remedy scheme, component offloading makes room for handling mentioned issues via migrating computationally intensive component to the cloud server. In this paper, we will present the predictive offloading method for efficient mobile cloud computing. At last, we will present experiment result for validating applicability and practicability of our proposal.

In distributed computing paradigm, mobile surrogate systems have not gained wide acceptance because of security concerns that have not been suitably addressed yet. Currently even the widely used Grid middleware, Globus, does not have a host authentication mechanism, which makes it hard to provide high performance Grid computing capabilities to mobile clients. In this paper, a mobile Grid service framework is designed and implemented in order to provide Grid services to mobile host such as PDA. The surrogate host-based system allows mobile hosts to be provided with Grid services while moving. The implemented mobile Grid services system has been applied to mobile healthcare system which utilizes Grid computing for ECG signal processing. The presented system framework can be used as a secure enterprise mobile healthcare system for hospital physicians.

Various human-friendly robot services have been developed and mobile cloud computing is a real time computing service that allows users to rent IT resources what they want over the internet and has become the new-generation computing paradigm of information society. The enterprises and nations are actively underway of the business process using mobile cloud computing and they are aware of need for implementing mobile cloud computing to their business practice, but it has some week points such as authentication services and distributed processing technologies of big data. Sometimes it is difficult to clarify the objective of cloud computing service. In this study, the vulnerability of authentication services on mobile cloud computing is analyzed and mobile cloud computing model is constructed for efficient and safe business process. We will also be able to study how to process and analyze unstructured data in parallel to this model, so that in the future, providing customized information for individuals may be possible using unstructured data.

최근 모바일 컴퓨팅은 어플리케이션 실행, 이미지 처리, 동영상 인코딩, 게임 등의 모바일 컴퓨팅 작업 처리를 위한 높은 성능의 컴퓨팅 능력을 요구한다. 모바일 컴퓨팅의 성능을 향상하기 위해 모바일 클라우드 컴퓨팅(Mobile Cloud Computing)을 도입하였다. 기존 모바일 클라우드 컴퓨팅에서는 모바일 컴퓨팅 작업의 처리를 위해 고-성능 컴퓨팅(High-Performance Computing)방법을 적용한 오프로드가 연구되고 있다. 고-성능 컴퓨팅의 목적은 단일작업의 처리속도 향상이므로 다중 작업처리를 위한 모바일 클라우드 컴퓨팅에는 적합하지 않다. 또한 고-성능 컴퓨팅은 모바일 클라우드 사용자에게 동등한 컴퓨팅 성능을 제공하지 못하는 문제점을 내재한다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기반 다중 작업 처리를 위한 Multitasking Mechanism for High-Throughput Computing(M2-HTC)을 제안한다. M2-HTC는 모바일 클라우드에서 처리중인 작업과 사용 가능한 컴퓨팅 리소스를 활용하여 다중 모바일 컴퓨팅 작업의 처리시간을 최소화하는 기법이다.

One of the main problems of today's ubiquitous computing systems is that they do not meet their quality requirements. Prior studies had investigated quality factors that were important to users regardless of use contexts. However, mobile computing services such as mobile data services (MDS) are fundamentally different from traditional information systems (IS) because it has been used in various life contexts. We conducted a qualitative study to identify important quality factors on various contexts in MDS. The results show that important quality factors in mobile computing services are differentiated from important quality factors in information systems.
