Detailed Table of Contents Preface. ...............................................................................................................................................xviii Acknowledgment...............................................................................................................................xxvi Section 1 Introduction and Applications of Mobile Cloud Computing This section comprises an introduction to cloud computing as a recently emerged technology in the wireless communication era. It elaborates on issues related to the mobile cloud computing concept, which has become an important research area due to the rapid growth of the applications in the mobile computing environments. It also presents research approaches associated with the prediction and the quantification of the technical debt in cloud software engineering. Finally, it provides insight and reports the results derived by particular methodologies that jointly consider cloud-specific properties and rely on the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) approaches. Chapter 1 Mobile Cloud Computing: An Introduction............................................................................................ 1 Jyoti Grover, Global Institute of Technology, India Gaurav Kheterpal, Metacube Software Private Limited, India Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has become an important research area due to rapid growth of mobile applications and emergence of cloud computing. MCC refers to integration of cloud computing into a mobile environment. Cloud providers (e.g. Google, Amazon, and Salesforce) support mobile users by providingtherequiredinfrastructure(e.g.servers,networks,andstorage),platforms,andsoftware.Mobile devices are rapidly becoming a fundamental part of human lives and these enable users to access various mobile applications through remote servers using wireless networks. Traditional mobile device-based computing, data storage, and large-scale information processing is transferred to “cloud,” and therefore, requirement of mobile devices with high computing capability and resources are reduced. This chapter provides a survey of MCC including its definition, architecture, and applications. The authors discuss the issues in MCC, existing solutions, and approaches. They also touch upon the computation offloading mechanism for MCC.

Chapter 2 The Technical Debt in Cloud Software Engineering: A Prediction-Based and Quantification Approach................................................................................................................................................ 24 Georgios Skourletopoulos, Scientia Consulting S.A., Greece Rami Bahsoon, University of Birmingham, UK Constandinos X. Mavromoustakis, University of Nicosia, Cyprus George Mastorakis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Greece Predicting and quantifying promptly the Technical Debt has turned into an issue of significant importance over recent years. In the cloud marketplace, where cloud services can be leased, the difficulty to identify the Technical Debt effectively can have a significant impact. In this chapter, the probability of introducing the Technical Debt due to budget and cloud service selection decisions is investigated. A cost estimation approach for implementing Software as a Service (SaaS) in the cloud is examined, indicating three scenarios for predicting the incurrence of Technical Debt in the future. The Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) is used in order to estimate the cost of the implementation and define a range of secureness by adopting a tolerance value for prediction. Furthermore, a Technical Debt quantification approach is researched for leasing a cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) in order to provide insights about the most appropriate cloud service to be selected. Chapter 3 Anomaly Detection in Cloud Environments.......................................................................................... 43 Angelos K. Marnerides, Liverpool John Moores University, UK Cloud environments compose unique operational characteristics and intrinsic capabilities such as service transparency and elasticity. By virtue of their exclusive properties as being outcomes of their virtualized nature, these environments are prone to a number of security threats either from malicious or legitimate intent. By virtue of the minimal proactive properties attained by off-the-shelf signature-based commercial detection solutions employed in various infrastructures, cloud-specific Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Anomaly Detection (AD)-based methodologies have been proposed in order to enable accurate identification, detection, and clustering of anomalous events that could manifest. Therefore, in this chapter the authors firstly aim to provide an overview in the state of the art related with cloud-based AD mechanisms and pinpoint their basic functionalities. They subsequently provide an insight and report some results derived by a particular methodology that jointly considers cloud-specific properties and relies on the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) algorithm. Section 2 Mobile Cloud Resource Management This section examines the various types of resource management techniques that are available for the mobile clouds, such as resource offloading, mobile cloud infrastructure and mobile device power control, controltheory,datamining,machinelearning,radiospectrummanagement,andmobilecloudcomputing economic-oriented mechanisms. It also elaborates on issues related to the social-oriented context of the mobile cloud computing environments to support optimal energy conservation of the mobile devices. Finally, it elaborates on traffic analysis and measurement issues in emerging mobile computing systems.
- 19. Chapter 4 Mobile Cloud Resource Management. ................................................................................................... 69 Konstantinos Katzis, European University Cyprus, Cyprus Providing mobile cloud services requires seamless integration between various platforms to offer mobile users optimum performance. To achieve this, many fundamental problems such as bandwidth availability and reliability, resource scarceness, and finite energy must be addressed before rolling out such services. This chapter aims to explore technological challenges for mobile cloud computing in the area of resource management focusing on both parts of the infrastructure: mobile devices and cloud networks. Starting with introducing mobile cloud computing, it then stresses the importance of resource management in the operation of mobile cloud services presenting various types of resources available for cloud computing. Furthermore, it examines the various types of resource management techniques available for mobile clouds. Finally, future directions in the field of resource management for mobile cloud computing environment are presented. Chapter 5 A Social-Oriented Mobile Cloud Scheme for Optimal Energy Conservation....................................... 97 Constandinos X. Mavromoustakis, University of Nicosia, Cyprus George Mastorakis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete – Agios Nikolaos, Greece Athina Bourdena, University of Nicosia, Cyprus Evangelos Pallis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete – Heraklion, Greece Dimitrios Stratakis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete – Heraklion, Greece Emmanouil Perakakis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete – Agios Nikolaos, Greece Ioannis Kopanakis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete – Agios Nikolaos, Greece Stelios Papadakis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete – Agios Nikolaos, Greece Zaharias D. Zaharis, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Christos Skeberis, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Thomas D. Xenos, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece This chapter elaborates on energy usage optimization issues by exploiting a resource offloading process based on a social-oriented mobile cloud scheme. The adoption of the proposed scheme enables for increasing the reliability in services provision to the mobile users by guaranteeing sufficient resources for the mobile application execution. More specifically, this chapter describes the process to improve the energy consumption of the mobile devices through the exploitation of a social-oriented model and a cooperative partial process offloading scheme. This research approach exploits social centrality, as the connectivity model for the resource offloading, among the interconnected mobile devices to increase the energy usage efficiency, the mobile nodes availability, as well as the process of execution reliability. The proposed scheme is thoroughly evaluated to define the validity and the efficiency for the energy conservation increase of future mobile computing devices.

Chapter 6 Traffic Analyses and Measurements: Technological Dependability.................................................... 122 Rossitza Goleva, Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria Dimitar Atamian, Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria Seferin Mirtchev, Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria Desislava Dimitrova, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Lubina Grigorova, Vivacom JSCO, Bulgaria Rosen Rangelov, Lufthansa Technik-Sofia, Bulgaria Aneliya Ivanova, Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria Resource management schemes in current data centers, including cloud environments, are not well equipped to handle the dynamic variation in traffic caused by the large diversity of traffic sources, source mobility patterns, and underlying network characteristics. Part of the problem is lacking knowledge on the traffic source behaviour and its proper representation for development and operation. Inaccurate, static traffic models lead to incorrect estimation of traffic characteristics, making resource allocation, migration, and release schemes inefficient, and limit scalability. The end result is unsatisfied customers (due to service degradation) and operators (due to costly inefficient infrastructure use). The authors argue that developing appropriate methods and tools for traffic predictability requires carefully conducted and analysed traffic experiments. This chapter presents their measurements and statistical analyses on various traffic sources for two network settings, namely local Area Network (LAN) and 3G mobile network. LAN traffic is organised in DiffServ categories supported by MPLS to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning. 3G measurements are taken from a live network upon entering the IP domain. Passive monitoring was used to collect the measurements in order to be non-obtrusive for the networks. The analyses indicate that the gamma distribution has general applicability to represent various traffic sources by proper setting of the parameters. The findings allow the construction of traffic models and simulation tools to be used in the development and evaluation of flexible resource management schemes that meet the real-time needs of the users. Section 3 Content-Aware Streaming in Mobile Cloud This section provides some novel applications that have been made possible by the rapid emergence of cloud computing resources and elaborates on content-aware streaming issues in mobile cloud computing environments. More specifically, it presents novel adaptation methods of cloud resources and media streaming techniques in mobile cloud networks for efficient media delivery. It then elaborates on context- awareness issues in opportunistic mobile cloud computing environments and context-aware adaptive streaming based on the latest video coding standard H.265 in the context of Internet-centric mobile cloud networking. Chapter 7 Adaptation of Cloud Resources and Media Streaming in Mobile Cloud Networks for Media Delivery. ............................................................................................................................................... 175 Jordi Mongay Batalla, National Institute of Telecommunications, Poland Warsaw University of Technology, Poland Multimedia content delivery is one of the use cases of Mobile Cloud Networks.

- 34. GLASGOW: W. COLLINS SONS AND CO. LTD. FOOTNOTES: 1 “In Praise of the Fist,” from Life and Flowers, translated by the late Alexander Teixeira de Mattos. 2 Pugilistica, by Henry Downs Miles; Boxers and Their Battles, by “Thormanby.” 3 See Rule 28, Appendix. 4 Just before this encounter, Lord Lonsdale, President of the Club, had especially urged his hearers not to use the word “Fight” in connection with these proceedings—in view of the fact, no doubt, that a “Prize-Fight” was illegal. Mr. Angle may have forgotten this, or he may have been misreported. The club’s sensitiveness to the use of words is very delicate, and by one of its officials I was once reprimanded at a supper following the Oxford and Cambridge matches for proposing the toast of “The Ring.” 5 This rule is only binding on members of the P.B.A. or persons signing articles to fight under their rules, and was made to meet cases where men finding themselves equally matched should attempt, by standing and looking at one another, as has been sometimes the case, for half an hour at a time, to protract the battle till dark, and thus have an opportunity of making a draw.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
- 43. damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment. 1.F.2.

If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem. 1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
- 44. INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. 1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. 1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause. Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™ Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
- 45. remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org. Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws. The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
- 46. small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
- 47. Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
