Service-Oriented Architecture for the Mobile Cloud Computing.

Summary The growth of connected devices, mainly due to the large number of Internet of Things (IoT) deployments and the emergence of mobile cloud services, introduces new challenges for the design of service architectures in the Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) of mobile cloud computing. In this thesis, we show how SOA can be a key solution for providing distributed mobile cloud services and how the OSGi platform can be an adaptive and efficient framework for providing such an implementation. We adapt the proposed CCM framework to different architectural contexts. The first is a traditional centric model, where mobile devices are reduced to consuming services. The second is a distributed model where the power of mobile-to-mobile interaction provides unlimited opportunities for valuable services, and finally, the three-tier architecture is considered with the introduction of the notion of cloudlet. For each context, we explore the performance of our service-oriented framework and compare it to other existing solutions.
