A Proposed Theoretical Model of Users' Acceptance of Mobile Cloud Computing

Although, the value of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is increasing and it is receiving a substantial attention in the scientific and industrial communities, there is a paucity of research of users' adoption of this technology. In this paper, we propose a user acceptance model for mobile cloud computing based on the famous Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by highlighting factors that can contribute in predicting future use of MCC. This research has the potential to significantly contribute to the development of attitude-behavior theories that would better explain users' acceptance of MCC applications. The findings could also provide a structured and more systematic approach for mobile cloud service providers on how to build their services and promoting them to the market.
