The performance of data transmission from mobile devices to cloud storages is limited by the amount of data being transferred, communication speed and battery consumption of mobile devices. Especially, when the large-scale data communication takes place using mobile devices, such as smart phones, the performance turbulence and power consumption become an obstacle to establish the reliable communication environment. In this paper, we present an efficient data transmission method using USB Hijacking. In our approach, the synchronization to transfer a large amount of data between mobile devices and user PC is executed by using USB Hijacking. Also, there is no need to concern about data capacity and battery consumption in the data communication. We presented several experimental results to verify the effectiveness and suitability of our approach.

With the fast growth of mobile services, Mobile Cloud Computing(MCC) has gained a great deal of attention from researchers in the academic and industrial field. User authentication and privacy are significant issues in MCC environment. Recently, Tsai and Lo proposed a privacy-aware authentication scheme for distributed MCC services, which claimed to support mutual authentication and user anonymity. However, Irshad et.al. pointed out this scheme cannot achieve desired security goals and improved it. Unfortunately, this paper shall show that security features of Irshad et.al.'s scheme are achieved at the price of multiple time-consuming operations, such as three bilinear pairing operations, one map-to-point hash function operation, etc. Besides, it still suffers from two minor design flaws, including incapability of achieving three-factor security and no user revocation and re-registration. To address these issues, an enhanced and provably secure authentication scheme for distributed MCC services will be designed in this work. The proposed scheme can meet all desirable security requirements and is able to resist against various kinds of attacks. Moreover, compared with previously proposed schemes, the proposed scheme provides more security features while achieving lower computation and communication costs.

Modern applications such as augmented reality, connected vehicles, video streaming and gaming have stringent requirements on latency, bandwidth and computation resources. The explosion in data generation by mobile devices has further exacerbated the situation. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a recent addition to the edge computing paradigm that amalgamates the cloud computing capabilities with cellular communications. The concept of MEC is to relocate the cloud capabilities to the edge of the network for yielding ultra-low latency, high computation, high bandwidth, low burden on the core network, enhanced quality of experience (QoE), and efficient resource utilization. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview on different traits of MEC including its use cases, architecture, computation offloading, security, economic aspects, research challenges, and potential future directions.

With the diversification of mobile devices, the development of web technologies, and the popularization of the cloud, an internet-centric web OS that is not dependent on devices has become necessary. Chromebooks are mobile devices in the form of convertible laptops featuring a web OS developed by Google. These Web OS mobile devices have advantages of multi-user characteristics of the same device and storage and sharing of data through internet and cloud, but it is easy to collect and analyze evidence from the forensic point of view because of excellent security and easy destruction of evidence not. In this paper, we propose an evidence collection procedure and an analysis method considering the cloud environment by dividing the Chromebook, which is a web OS mobile device popularized in the future, into user and administrator modes.

Virtualization lacks capabilities for enabling the application to scale efficiently because of new applications components which are raised to be configured on demand. In this paper, we propose an architecture that affords mobile app based on nomadic smartphone using not only mobile cloud computing-cloudlet architecture but also a dedicated platform that relies on using virtual private mobile networks to provide reliable connectivity through LTE(Long Term Evolution) wireless communication. The design architecture lies with how the cloudlet host discovers service and sends out the cloudlet IP and port while locating the user mobile device. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture by implementing an android application responsible of real time analysis by using a vehicle to applications smartphone interface approach that considers the smartphone to act as a remote users which passes driver inputs and delivers outputs from external applications.

Currently it is being gradually focused on the mobile application's processing performance implemented by Javascript and HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) due to the dissemination of mobile web application supply based on the WAC (Wholesale Application Community). If the application software has a simple functional processing structure, then the problem is benign, however, the load of a browser is getting heavier as the amount of Javascript processing is being increased. There is a limitation on the processing time and capacity of the Javascript in the ordinary mobile browsers which are on the market now. In order to solve those problems, the Web Worker that is not supported from the existing Javascript technology is now provided by the HTML 5 to implement the multi thread. The Web Worker provides a mechanism that process a part from the single thread through a separate one. However, it can not guarantee the computing ability as a native application on the mobile and is not enough as a solution for improving the fundamental processing speed. The Cyclostorm overcomes the limitation of resources as a mobile client and guarantees the performance as a native application by providing high computing service and ascripting the Javascript process on the mobile to the computer server on the cloud. From the performance evaluation experiment, the Cyclostorm shows a maximally 6 times faster computing speed than in the existing mobile browser's Javascript and 3 to 6 times faster than in Web Worker of the HTML 5. In addition, the usage of memory is measured less than the existing method since the server's memory has been used. In this paper, the Cyclostorm is introduced as one of the mobile cloud computing services to conquer the limitation of the WAC based mobile browsers and to improve the existing web application's performances.

For a library to be able provide information services and fulfill its function as a knowledge convergence center capable of responding to various information demands, the development of next-generation information systems based on the latest information and communication technology is needed. The development of mobile information services using portable devices such smart phones and tablet PCs and information systems which incorporate the concepts of cloud computing, SaaS (Software as a Service), annotation and Library2.0 is also required. This paper describes a library information system that utilizes collective intelligence and cloud computing. The information system developed for this study adopts the SaaS-based cloud computing service concept to cope with the shift in the mobile service paradigm in libraries and the explosion of electronic data. The strengths of such a conceptual model include the sharing of resources, support of multi-tenants, and the configuration and support of metadata. The user services are provided in the form of software on-demand. To test the performance of the developed system, the efficiency analysis and TTA certification test were conducted. The results of performance tests, It is encouraging that, at least up to 100MB, the job time is approximately linear and with only a moderate overhead of less than one second. The system also passed the level-3 or higher criteria in the certification test, which includes the SaaS maturity, performance and application program functions.
