Abstract
Mobile cloud computing, an extension of cloud computing paradigm for providing services of existing cloud facility to user application in mobile/portable devices, has been recently presented to overcome inherent limitations of these devices. Mobile cloud application, initiated in these devices, can be provided with support of existing cloud services. However, this paper observes that such activities in existing architecture result in tightly coupling between applications and services, which is highly undesirable in dynamic environments. A new architecture of mobile cloud computing, where interactions between mobile cloud applications and leased cloud services will be decoupled, is introduced in this paper. The paper also explains how uncoupling is accomplished in proposed architecture, i.e., how appropriate uncoupling medium can be suitably placed in this architecture.
