Latest advances in mobile communication networks and increasing penetration of smart phones are transforming the mobile Internet and empowering end users with rich mobile experience. However, the limited computing and information/energy storage capabilities of mobile devices are hampering their abilities to support increasingly sophisticated applications demanded by users. The emerging cloud computing technology offers a natural solution to extend the limited capabilities of mobile devices. The resulting new paradigm of mobile cloud computing is being embraced by researchers and practitioners as an exciting new way to extend the capabilities of mobile devices and mobile platforms, which has the potential for profound impacts on the business environment and people's daily life. Empowered by mobile cloud computing, previously infeasible mobile applications are finding their ways into mobile devices. These emerging applications range from mobile storage and synchronization, fast content delivery, audio/video streaming, to interactive rich media services. Nevertheless, the implementation and wide deployment of these applications are complicated by various technical challenges across different layers in wireless networks. For example, there is a need to better understand the gaps between the quality of service (QoS) requirements of cloud-based applications and the variable performance of wireless networks due to the dynamic channel environments, and to develop novel solutions to overcome these gaps. Moreover, the design and operations of mobile cloud computing should also be sensitive to the limited energy supply in the mobile devices and system-wide energy conservation in general. As a result, advanced cognitive and adaptive techniques are highly deman ded for mobile cloud computing. Moreover, new perspectives can be taken by both academic researchers and practitioners to demystify the technical challenges and propose ground-breaking solutions.
