This book focuses on introducing three vital aspects of mobile cloud computing, which are models, implementations, and security. We aim to assist graduate level students to learn the knowledge of mobile cloud computing for adopting the next generation technology of mobility, wireless networks, and application. The design of this book follows instructional principle in order to ensure the contents are reliable, teachable, and adoptable. Students can easily cognize concepts, models, and relevant applications throughout their study of this book. Moreover, this book is also for those students who seek for advanced algorithms applied in mobile cloud computing. A few novel algorithms in mobile cloud computing are covered in this book. The knowledge scope of this book can aid learners to obtain a panoramic and deep insight in mobile cloud computing.

Three main aspects of mobile apps are covered by this book, which represent three major dimensions in the current mobile app development domain. They are:

1. Basic Concepts and Mechanisms of Mobile Cloud Computing. This includes introduces mobile cloud computing architecture design, key techniques, and main challenges.

2. Optimization of Data Processing and Storage in Mobile Clouds. addresses big data and service computing in mobile cloud computing.

3. Security Issues and Solutions in Mobile Cloud Systems. further discusses privacy protection techniques in mobile systems.

4. Integrating Service-Oriented Architecture with Mobile Cloud Computing. introduces the method of integrating Service-Oriented Architecture with mobile cloud systems. A few Web services specifications related to the implementations of mobile cloud computing are discussed in this chapter.

In summary, this book is written for those students/scholars who intend to explore the mobile cloud computing domain. All crucial aspects in mobile clouds are covered by this book. Moreover, this book not only presents critical concepts in mobile cloud systems but also drives students to advanced level studies. Some open discussion questions can facilitate students to do deeper research. Therefore, this is a handbook of mobile cloud computing that is suitable for a broad range of audiences.

Meikang Qiu received BE and ME degrees from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Dallas. Currently, he is an adjunct professor at Columbia University and Associate Professor of Computer Science at Pace University. He is an IEEE senior member and ACM senior member.
