* '''Trust, security, and privacy issues:''' Trust is an essential factor for the success of the burgeoning MCC paradigm. It is because the data along with code/component/application/complete VM is offloaded to the cloud for execution. Moreover, just like software and mobile application piracy, the MCC application development models are also affected by the piracy issue.<ref name="Khan 753–776">{{Cite journal|last=Khan|first=Atta ur Rehman|last2=Othman|first2=Mazliza|last3=Ali|first3=Mazhar|last4=Khan|first4=Abdul Nasir|last5=Madani|first5=Sajjad Ahmad|date=2013-12-01|title=Pirax: framework for application piracy control in mobile cloud environment|url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11227-013-1061-1|journal=The Journal of Supercomputing|language=en|volume=68|issue=2|pages=753–776|doi=10.1007/s11227-013-1061-1|issn=0920-8542}}</ref> Pirax<ref name="Khan 753–776"/> is known to be the first specialized framework for controlling application piracy in MCC environment.

==MCC research groups in the IT and computer science cloud have infrastructure as a service==

Several academic and industrial research groups in MCC have been emerging since last few years. Some of the MCC research groups in academia with large number of researchers and publications include:

* MDC,<ref name=":1" /> Mobile and Distributed Computing research group is at Faculty of Computer and Information Science, King Saud University. MDC research group focuses on architectures, platforms, and protocols for mobile and distributed computing. The group has developed algorithms, tools, and technologies which offer energy efficient, fault tolerant, scalable, secure, and high performance computing on mobile devices.
