IMPACT OF CLOUD COMPUTING IN THE MOBILE APPLICATION
The cloud computing is the result of the application of advanced technology. The
application of the cloud computing is done on the various fields of technology. One of the
primary application of thee cloud computing is done in the mobile computing. The main feature
of the cloud computing is that it can store data online and the data can be accessed from any
location at any moment. The application of the cloud computing in the mobile application can be
used to store the mobile data. Nowadays smart phones are used as the mobile devices . Many
apps are operate din the smart phones. In that case, the app data can be stored in the cloud
storage. Storing of the data in the cloud will save the storage space along with that it will also
save the cost for the infrastructure of maintaining the hardware . The main objective of this paper

The paper has been discussed about the things and the methodology for the
implementation that supports all the research objectives mentioned in this article. In this context
it can be said that the research in this paper is relevant with the existing research literature. The
main topic selected for the discussion is the implementation of the cloud computing in the
mobile application. In this context, the paper covers the discussion about implementation and the
impact of the cloud computing the mobile application. It can be said from the discussion that the
paper supports the findings related to the selected topic for the discussion.
Methodology used in the article:
While evaluating the methodology technique, it has been found out that the article has
not discussed about the implementation of the cloud computing in the mobile application. Rather
it has discusses about the impacts of the cloud computing and the mobile application. The paper
has discusses about the challenges regarding the cloud computing and the mobile application .
the methodology is concerned about the mitigation of these challenges so that the
implementation of the loud architecture can become more successful in the mobile application.
In order to do this the paper first discovers the various challenges and the threats in both
the cloud architecture and the mobile application(Sharma, 2018). Some of the challenges related
to the cloud computing mentioned in this paper are security , integration and identity. The paper
also discusses briefly about the cloud computing before discussing the possible risks and
challenges in the platform.
Similarly, for the mobile application, the discussion happens in the same way. The basic
definition and the knowledge about mobile computing has been discussed followed by the

IMPACT OF CLOUD COMPUTING IN THE MOBILE APPLICATION
identification of the possible risks and challenges in the mobile application area (Sharma, 2018).
Some of the identified risks in the mobile application area are mentioned as limited energy
source of the mobile device, various network access schemes, reducing the network latency time
and the supply of resources for the mobile application.
The paper has evaluated the research in this way where the implementation of the cloud
computing can help to mitigate the risks and the problems in the mobile network.

It can be said the study is ethical as it maintains the transparency in the research data and
information and delivers the right outcome of the research.
Analysis of the data collected and the evidence of the finding:
The research is the qualitative so no numerical data is presented in the paper. The
evidence or the result obtained from the paper is correct as it also supports the results form the
findings og the other paper related to this research topic.
The second selected article in this discussion is cloud computing in mobile technologies.
In the mentioned research article, the authors have discussed about the use of cloud
computing in mobile technologies. The research question of the article is clearly mentioned as
significant as the paper conclusively states the use of cloud computing in the mobile devices
used nowadays.
In the paper, the advantages of cloud computing has been defined properly. The research
has adequately researched the critical areas of applications fo the technology such as software
maintenance, hardware expenditures, reduction in IT services and business management.
The paper has evaluated the history of the technology and has adequately mentioned it in
detail . The development of cloud computing technology for the last 60 years has been

5
IMPACT OF CLOUD COMPUTING IN THE MOBILE APPLICATION
conclusively explained. The prediction of John McCarthy has been mentioned as well which
gives a conclusive evidence of research for the proposed article. The article has mentioned the
use of the technology in mobile devices to cover the research literature for the proposed research
question.
The research paper has failed to mention the future applications of the technology in the
mobile devices. The paper could have explored the recent cases that are ongoing in the mobile
cloud computing scenario and could have assessed possible live case scenarios to provide the
reader with a conclusive knowledge of the practical insight of the technology (Gusev, 2018). The
authors have discussed the advantages of the technology with the mobile devices but has only
provided n analysis on the threats and challenges that the technology faces. In short, the research
paper lacks a proper insight into the disadvantages of adopting the mentioned technology in the
particular mobile domain. The architecture of the cloud mobile technology has been mentioned
but the research paper has discussed the architectures of cloud technology in general in a more
conclusive way. The research has adequately discussed the advantages of the cloud computing
technology and opportunities that are associated with it. The research questions and the research
methodologies have been properly evaluated in this section of the report. The paper has also
conclusively discussed about the hybrid deployment model of clouds but the proposed topic does
not adequately address the research topic.
The research methods used are not as conclusive as the paper discusses a lot about cloud
computing technology in general and less about its uses in mobile devices But still, the research
is conclusive and completes all the relevant details that are required by the mentioned topic. The
service layers of the cloud computing technology has been mentioned (Gusev, 2018). This is
good for research purposes but instigates little insight into ots working with mobile devices. The

6
IMPACT OF CLOUD COMPUTING IN THE MOBILE APPLICATION
deployment models that are mentioned in the article also speak the same volume. In short, the
agreement between the philosophical framework and the research question is not established
quite well. But the research methods that are used in the article are adequate and properly
explains the deployment of cloud technology in the mobile devices.
There are certain biases in the methods that has been used for the study which assists in
undermining the results. The research paper discusses too much about the mobile phone
technology in general rather than talking about all the mobile device that fall under the range
such as laptops and tablets. The paper has also stresses on the cloud technology in general more
rather than actually exploring the technology from a mobile application point of view. The paper
has discusses the private and community cloud technologies properly (Gusev, 2018). These does
have significance in the applications of mobile technology but does not properly address the
research topic properly. Similarly, the types of cloud systems have been explained in the research
article. The definition of SaaS,. PaaS and IaaS have been provided adequately in the report. The
application of the technologies in mobile technology has not been assessed which is a big
research gap for the research topic. The MDS or Mobile database system however addresses the
research topic conclusively. With persistent execution, the transfer of information from
anywhere and anytime has been conclusively mentioned that properly addresses the research
report.
As per the research analysis, the study is ethical, but the research topic has several
challenges that it needs to face before it can be deemed as a probable solution. The research
paper conclusively defines the challenges that these technologies have with cyber threats that are
increasing every year exponentially. The issues related to security infrastructure and data

IMPACT OF CLOUD COMPUTING IN THE MOBILE APPLICATION
security and integrity has been conclusively mentioned that can have ethical concerns if they are
not managed properly.
The research topic properly carries out the data collection and analysis methods but fails
in certain departments. The paper mentions the history if the cloud computing technology and
has evaluated the various service layers and deployment layers of the mentioned technology. The
data collection on the different types of cloud services has been adequately discussed and the
different types of cloud networks have been assessed (Gusev, 2018). The data analysis and
collection methods of the mobile applications of cloud computing has been significantly assessed
in the next section of the research paper. The threats and opportunities of the cloud computing
technologies has been mentioned. The research analysis and data analysis in this segment has not
been conclusively discussed although the cloud computing services has been mentioned
adequately in the research paper.
The research paper also discusses about the emergence of the cloud technologies in the
mobile devices with the adoption of the advanced network systems such as 3G technology. With
multi touch systems and proper UI the research paper has discussed about the adoption of the
mentioned technology in the provided domain. The MCC architecture properly evaluate the
research topic that is needed by the research topic. The methodology that is used in assessing the
research topic is conclusive and upto the mark. The research has adequately mentioned the
accessibility of the wireless communications in properly developing an interface between the
web browser and the mobile. In this aspect, the research topic has been evaluated conclusively.
The only drawback of the research paper is the excessive emphasis of the cloud computing
technology in general rather than from a mobile application view.
