Mrs. Poonam Yadav’s paper was based on the art of cloud computing technology proposed to understand its effectiveness in the field of mobile software engineering. To facilitate the research study, a music streaming application prototype system was built based on Android platform and Google App Engine to explore the impact and effect of cloud computing in mobile software environment. Cloud computing is Internet based computing. The similarity with client-server architecture is that cloud computing shares resources. The difference is that “sharing” is provided based on user demand and charged on consumed quota. The advantage of using cloud computing is that it reduces the expertise and cost for establishing and maintaining the server infrastructure from users, thus allowing them to focus on business application development. The disadvantage is that it may lock the user to a specific cloud service provider due to poor portability caused by the lack of a standard interface. This paper presented an experimental approach focusing on technical advances and dabbling into intersection of the two hot areas i.e. mobile software engineering and cloud computing.

The Conference provided a good platform for researchers to share their work and was beneficial for the participants.
