<DIV>Major Theme:</DIV>
<DIV>Today's fast advance of mobile computing and cloud computing is bring</DIV>
<DIV>a new paradigm shift from conventional mobile computing and wireless </DIV>
<DIV>communications services to mobile cloud computing and services over </DIV>
<DIV>wireless internet in the real world.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Many people believe that mobile cloud computing will not only completely </DIV>
<DIV>change the current way of delivering mobile computing and communication </DIV>
<DIV>services to global mobile users, but also alter their working and life styles with </DIV>
<DIV>seamless global mobile resource sharing and accesses.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This symposium will provide a great platform to allow researchers and</DIV>
<DIV>professionals in the industry to exchange their latest research results and </DIV>
<DIV>development activities on mobile cloud computing and services.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The primary objective is to share research ideas and results, emergent industry</DIV>
<DIV>technologies on the latest advances in mobile cloud<BR>computing and services, and mobile computing and applications.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This symposium will host a number of invited speakers who will give<BR>tutorials and research talks related to issues in mobile computing and </DIV>
<DIV>cloud computing.</DIV>
