A Mobile Learning Framework on Cloud Computing Platforms

TL;DR: This paper proposes an interdisciplinary approach for design and development of mobile applications in the cloud that includes front service toolkit and backend servicetoolkit and shows its performance.

Abstract: Cloud computing infrastructure is increasingly used for distributed applications. Mobile learning applications deployed in the cloud are a new research direction. The applications require specific development approaches for effective and reliable communication. This paper proposes an interdisciplinary approach for design and development of mobile applications in the cloud. The approach includes front service toolkit and backend service toolkit. The front service toolkit packages data and sends them to a backend deployed in a cloud computing platform. The backend service toolkit manages rules and workflow of web services, supports fault tolerance and then transmits required results to the front service toolkit. To further show feasibility of the approach, the paper introduces a case study and shows its performance. Keywords-cloud computing; mobile devices; service set;
