Mobile cloud applications and traceability

The mobility has become a valuable necessity for information technology users. Along with this property, for a smart phone user, the following aspects are also important: the storage space, the energy consumption, the applications complexity and the efficiency. Comparing to standalone mobile applications, mobile cloud applications make use of resource sharing, have richer functionality and reduced costs. On the other hand, mobile cloud applications raise some problems related to data security, data privacy and trust. In this paper, we analyze the need for mobile cloud applications, we propose a scenario for an e-health application and we design a data traceability service.
