Descriptions

Mobile phone applications demand greater resources and improved
interactivity for better user experience. Resources in cloud computing
platforms such as Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Google AppEngine are a
natural fit to remedy the lack of local resources in mobile devices.
Mobile cloud computing refers to an infrastructure where data storage and
iiiiiiiidata processing happen outside of the mobile device to enable a
new class
of applications previously not possible. Mobile cloud computing is poised
to become a disruptive force in the mobile world.

While prior work on thin client related research is relevant, the
availability of cloud computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, the
advances in virtualization, the emergence of LTE and WiMAX, IEEE 802.11n
and 60 GHz, and mobile application programming platforms create a new set
of rich problems that require re-thinking old issues with a new lens.

The scope of the MCS workshop will encompass system and networking topics
such as device virtualization, notification services, location services,
and scalable mobile cloud computing platforms. Suggested topics for paper
submissions include but are not limited to:

Mobile cloud computing programming model
Scalable mobile cloud computing platforms
Mobile social networks
Data services and architectures
Cloud-assisted energy management of mobile devices
Mobile device virtualization
Notification services
Location based services
Mobile cloud resource management
Mobile cloud middleware
Mobile cloud architecture
Mobile cloud applications
Data privacy and security
High availability and reliability
Economic considerations in offering mobile cloud computing services
Data mining and machine learning in mobile cloud computing
Context-aware services and computing
