<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>
