Future of Smart Phone Apps

In this article I analyzed several other published research papers which discussed about Mobile Cloud Computing for the Big Data Management in Future Smart Phone Applications. Findings listed below,

·         Static mobile resources may not be able to support large-scale backend computational requirements. It creates key bottleneck in their computational capability and the computational power, in terms of processing and memory, is severely limited compared to traditional computers.

·         Most of mobile agents are based on expensive and inflexible communication methods that require the installation of software and hardware components. These issues are solved using the cloud computing concept, as there is no need for extra storage and computation medium. Public cloud, can provide elastic and “unlimited” computation and storage resources with adjust the amount of resources according to the service requests and provide large-scale deployment easily.

·         There are three components at the cloud end: the proxy, code repository and server. The proxy provides a gateway between the mobile device and the cloud backend. Code repository provide the logic to provide the service and server provide the high speed computational capability.

Subject areas which currently use big data management through mobile cloud computing via smart phones described below. Special algorithms process millions of real time data with the help of high tech backend servers.

·         Well reputed banks, financial institutes, insurance companies’ use mobile banking / financing facility for give basic banking / financing services to their customers specially through smart phone apps. 

·         Most of the social media sites, wiki sites, blogging sites and photography sites use smart phone apps to connect their users online.

·         Online shopping malls, restaurants use smart phone apps to do their business transactions, good and services purchases.

·         Email service providers, online database provides also use smart phone apps to expand their services to the clients.

 

In current scenario most of the organizations use this smart phone apps to give their limited services to their clients 24 X 7 and anywhere. Not only that most of the services based on the financial transactions along with collecting, storing, analyzing and sharing data. Another advantage of using this is increase mobility of the services that they can provide to the clients with high security, fast transaction and data transmission back end. 

But apart from current application areas this can be applicable in several other areas to serve the people.

·         Apple introduced its new Cloud Service Offering iCloud on June 2013 and Apple’s plan to launch a new streaming music service apart from the current I tunes service. Apple’s upcoming cloud music service will have the ability to scan your hard drive and then mirror the users’ music collection on its own servers. Which means in future cloud based app may get the responsibility of song repository of smart phones and give your favorite according to your listening pattern.

·         Governments can host a cloud based web service which can hold entire details about the citizens with high security. Then using mobile app citizens can get some of the government services. Authorized Officers can update the details with proper manner. (This has some complexities to solve)

·         Cloud and Web based Health management systems can be implement in the hospitals. Using patient’s smart phones, system can get the information from the patients and stored in cloud. The information that resides in the cloud is managed by the hospital management staff. Using that records doctors & staff can generate some Meta data about the patients and their issues patterns.

·         Cloud computing can be merge with TAP (Telco Application Platform) Systems, which just use SMS, USSD, Charging gateways to give mobile services to their user. Those information can be stored in cloud database and make them useful for reward the subscribers and use for the other calculations.
