Mobile phone applications are exploding in popularity, and can strongly benefit from services and resources offered by cloud computing. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of mobile computing and cloud computing. The scope of the MCS workshop will encompass system and networking topics such as mobile cloud computing platforms and services, mobile social networks, device virtualization, notification services, data mining services and location services. 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. 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. Suggested topics for paper submissions include but are not limited to:
Important Dates
Submission
Instructions Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts would be submitted in PDF format using the ACM camera-ready templates available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. In addition to the full-length research papers (limited to 8 pages), the workshop invites vision papers (limited to 5 pages). Authors submitting vision papers should identify such papers with the title starting with “Vision: ”. We highly encourage industrial participation. Please submit your papers via the following link.
