Mobile Cloudization Storytelling: Current Issues From an Optimization Perspective

This article considers the cloudization framework for the next-generation mobile computing from an optimization perspective. First, a comprehensive cloudization architecture is analyzed on the basis of the European telecommunications standards institute (ETSI) network functions virtualization management and orchestration (NFV-MANO) specifications. Second, current effective approaches are analyzed, and the optimization objectives are discussed. Third, intrinsic computing on user devices is described as an extension of cloudization. Finally, recent issues are clarified for future research directions.
