--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MCS 2012 The Third International Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing & Services Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2012, Low Wood Bay, Lake District, United Kingdom June 25, 2012. 8:30am to 5:30pm. Sponsored by SIGMOBILE PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Jitendra Padhye (MSR) and Z. Morley Mao (University of UMichigan) Technical Program Committee TBD Conference Website http://mcs12.eecs.umich.edu/ DESCRIPTION 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 data processing happen outside of the mobile device enabling a new class of applications previously not possible, e.g. context-aware mobile social networks. With the recent introduction of Apple iCloud and Amazon Silk Split Browser, 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 lense. The scope of the MCS workshop will encompass system and networking topics such as mobile social networks, 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 . Mobile social networks: applications and experiences, system design and architecture . Data services and architectures . Cloud-assisted energy management of mobile devices . Mobile device virtualization . Fairness and isolation of mobile devices in the cloud . Large scale mobile cloud applications . Data privacy and security . High availability and reliability . Economic considerations in offering mobile cloud computing services . Distribution of resources and computation between mobile devices and the cloud . Data mining and machine learning in mobile cloud computing . Context-aware services and computing IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: April 6, 2012 by 11:59 pm ET Notification of acceptance: April 23, 2012 Final camera-ready paper: May 1, 2012 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum.
