5. CONCLUSIONS
This paper presented ShaMoCloud Service, a mobile - cloud based environment for content / media management.
Design and implementation of a hybrid cloud environment was detailed with focus on integrating the three tiers of the
framework while preserving data security and privacy. Various aspects of development using extreme programming
as an agile development methodology were discussed. The work was compared to similar projects highlighting the
gains and challenges in development. Our experience shows that Mobile Cloud application development can be
integrated with agile development methodologies reducing the cost, time and improving software quality.
Furthermore, accelerated pace of development using agile methods is suitable for fast changing pace of newer mobile
and cloud technologies. Results show the positive indications to applying Extreme Programming (XP) for both mobile
and web application integrated with hybrid cloud.
