CALL FOR PAPERS -- MCS 2015

The Sixth International Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing and Services
Co-located with ACM MobiCom 2015, Paris,
Francehttp://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/mcs/2015/index.html

Mobile systems are resource-constrained due to their small form
factors. It is natural to consider enhancing them with the massively
more resourceful data centers that are distant (a.k.a. the cloud) or
located close by (a.k.a edge servers). In fact, many of today's mobile
applications already leverage the cloud, usually via a client-server
model and the web. To some extent, mobile systems have become the user
interface of the cloud; and the cloud has become the backend of these
mobile systems. The MCS workshop is intended to be a forum for
exchanging new ideas about the synergy and symbiosis of mobile and
cloud: new ways to leverage the cloud to serve mobile users and new
challenges to the cloud raised by mobile accesses. The scope of the
workshop will encompass a broad range of systems and networking topics
that explore this synergy between mobile devices and the cloud.

INTERNET OF THINGS and MOBILE CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES

The proliferation of low-cost networked objects, combined with a
growing consumer appetite, is driving the long awaited IoT revolution.
At MCS this year, we will examine what this powerful trend means for
the future of mobile cloud technology. For example, wearables and
smartphones are increasingly playing prominent roles in the emerging
IoT ecosystem. What future cloud services and network models will be
required when our personal devices are routinely in contact with
thousands of smart objects per day? We invite the submission of
technical and position papers that explore the intersection of IoT and
Mobile Cloud Services. A special technical session will be devoted to
this topic during the workshop including invited speakers to promote
vigorous debate and discussion.

More broadly, MCS still solicits the best new ideas and the latest
breakthrough results on any topic that is relevant to the mobile-cloud
technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

= Applications and Services
= Context awareness
= Data mining and Machine Learning
= Economic Considerations
= Energy Efficiency
= Experience in developing and deploying mobile-cloud services
= Networking
= Operating system support
= Security and Privacy
= Programming languages and models
= Virtualization
= Mobile web
