Abstract

This introductory chapter about the book provides a short synopsis on the changes in the computing scenarios with the convergence of wireless networking, Internet technology and embedded processing. The advances in battery technology, sensor networking and cloud computing have led to the emergence of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) as a dominant service oriented platform for creating innovative personalized services any where, at any time. MCC platform is now an indispensable component of the general framework for mobile pervasive computing. Our discussion in this chapter provides a general description of context aware smart applications including smart homes, active badge system, mHealthcare system, and driver-less cars, all of which rely on the generic service platform of MCC. The chapter ends with a short organizational summary of the book.
