Abstract	Mobile technologies are drawing their attention to the cloud computing due to the increasing demand of the applications, for processing power, storage space and energy. However, developing mobile cloud applications involves working with services and APIs from different cloud vendors. Most often these APIs are not interoperable and the information processed and stored into the cloud is non-transferable across clouds. To counter these problems, a generic middleware framework, Mobile Cloud Middleware (MCM) is designed, which handles the interoperability issues, and eases the use of process-intensive services from mobile phones. A prototype of MCM is developed and several applications are demonstrated in different domains. Moreover, to verify the scalability of MCM, load tests are performed on the hybrid cloud resources. The detailed performance analysis of the middleware framework shows that MCM improves the quality of service for mobiles and helps in maintaining soft-real time responses for mobile cloud applications.
