Call For Papers MobiCC 2012 (Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing) In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Communications in China 2012 http://network.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/mobicc/index.html
In the past few years, mobile devices and wireless communication technologies have developed rapidly. With the explosion of mobile applications and user demands, some characteristics of mobile devices such as limited resources (e.g., computation and storage capacity, battery power, etc.) significantly impede the improvement of QoS. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is born to tackle these limitations by integrating cloud computing into the mobile environment. It enables users to elastically utilize resources in an on-demand fashion, takes full advantages of cloud computing, and brings new types of services and facilities to users by providing ubiquitous service access. Several organizations have predicted that cloud computing will completely transform the way in which mobile applications and services are acquired, developed and used. However, there are still many obstacles for MCC, including service availability, mobility management, security, privacy, energy efficiency, etc. These problems must be carefully addressed before MCC could become the next big thing. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of mobile cloud computing, including but not limited to: · New architecture of middleware and applications in mobile cloud computing · Distribution of resources and computation between mobile devices and the cloud · Measurement and modeling for mobile cloud computing · Task or resource out-sourcing · Transmission protocols and scheduling algorithms for mobile cloud computing · Availability and reliability of mobile cloud services · Fairness and isolation of mobile devices in the cloud · Collaborative operations in mobile cloud computing · Data sharing and collaboration · Mobile multimedia content delivery with cloud computing · Software structure for mobile cloud application · Cloud-based mobile media system · Mobile social network in cloud computing · Location based services in mobile cloud environment · Context-aware services and computing · Energy-aware wireless communication technologies for mobile cloud computing · Security and privacy protection in mobile cloud computing · Novel mobile cloud computing applications and systems Workshop OrganizationGeneral Chair: Ivan Stojmenovic <http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~ivan/>, University of Ottawa, Canada Technical Program Chairs: Yong Cui <http://www.netlab.edu.cn:8080/netlab/teacher/cuiyong/cuiyongEnglish.jsp>, Tsinghua University, China Jiangchuan Liu <http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~jcliu/>, Simon Fraser University, Canada Publicity Chairs Cheng Wang, University of Ottawa, Canada Chengchen Hu, Xi¹an Jiaotong University, China Paper submissionThis workshop invites authors to submit full papers representing original, unpublished, work in all areas of mobile cloud computing that are not concurrently under review elsewhere.
