With the vast usage of mobile devices, it is evident that the next paradigm shift after cloud computing would be MCC. This book is one of its kinds as it covers all aspects of MCC. Some of the leading concepts which this book covers are Mobile Computational Offloading (MCO) and Cloud Assisted Mobile Augmentation (CMA) which helps to overcome the limitations (battery life and computational power) faced by our smartphones.
