In this book, authors provide a comprehensive and motivating overview of this rapidly emerging technology. The book explores how distributed resources can be shared by mobile users in very different ways and for various purposes. The book provides many stimulating examples of resource-sharing applications. Enabling technologies for \u003ci\u003emobile clouds \u003c\/i\u003eare also discussed, highlighting the key role of network coding. \u003ci\u003eMobile clouds \u003c\/i\u003ehave the potential to enhance communications performance, improve utilization of resources and create flexible platforms to share resources in very novel ways.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnergy efficient aspects of \u003ci\u003emobile clouds \u003c\/i\u003eare discussed in detail, showing how being cooperative can bring mobile users significant energy saving. The book presents and discusses multiple examples of \u003ci\u003emobile\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eclouds \u003c\/i\u003eapplications, based on both existing commercial initiatives as well as proof-of-concept test-beds. Visions and prospects are also discussed, paving the way for further development. As mobile networks and social networks become more and more reliant on each other, the concept of resource sharing takes a wider and deeper meaning, creating the foundations for a global real-time multidimensional resource pool, the underlying infrastructure for shareconomy. Above all, this is an inspiring book for anyone who is concerned about the future of wireless and mobile communications networks and their relationship with Social networks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides fundamental ideas and promising concepts for exploiting opportunistic cooperation and cognition in wireless and mobile networks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGives clear definitions of \u003ci\u003emobile clouds \u003c\/i\u003efrom different perspectives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssociates mobile and wireless networks with social networks, creating a vast fertile ground for novel developments in both research and practical applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsiders research directions, emerging trends and visions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an excellent resource for wireless\/networking researchers in industry and academia, students and mobile phone programmers.
