摘要：Mobile computing empowers its users to exploit portable computation and context-awarecommunication, however; a mobile device lacks energy and performance to executecomputation and memory intensive tasks. On the contrary, cloud computing exploits the ‘payper-use’ software and hardware services to provide virtually unlimited processing and storageresources. The unification of mobile and cloud computing as Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC)enables mobility and context awareness with computation and storage services to providesystems that are portable, yet resource sufficient. In an architectural context for MCC systemsthat require context-awareness, mobility and scalability, etc., there is a need to capitalise onreusable solutions – utilising patterns and best practices – to architect and develop mobilecloud software. This research aims to build and exploit a catalogue of patterns that supportreusable design knowledge for architecture-based development of the MCC systems. We havediscovered some patterns as generic and reusable solutions and demonstrate their usage in thecontext of mobile cloud systems. The proposed research aims to establish the catalogue aspatterns repository – facilitating a continuous discovery and documentation of new patternsovertime that support reusable knowledge and practices to develop MCC systems.
