Abstract
Cloud computing and mobile computing domains have advanced rapidly and are promis- ing technologies for the future. As the number of mobile devices continues to grow the applications for them also become more sophisticated. To satisfy the need for process- ing large amounts of data, developers can benefit from using various cloud resources. Cloud computing becomes mobile when a mobile device tries to access the shared pool of computing resources provided by the cloud, on demand. Mobile applications take advantage of the elasticity of the cloud to remotely process the process intensive tasks at the same time maintaining a soft real time response behavior. To support accessing the cloud services from the mobile phones, Mobile Cloud Middleware (MCM) has been realized by Srirama et al. at UT. MCM mainly handles the interoperability issues for services accessed from multiple clouds. However, when a mobile application needs to perform a task which is expected to be time consuming, as it requires involving intensive data processing and depends on mobile cloud services, it cannot hang the mobile phone until the response arrives. As a solution to address these issues, the thesis incorporated asynchronous notification framework into the MCM, especially for iOS devices.
