With the emergence of ultra-fast 4G <span class="il">mobile</span> networks and highly-featured smartphones and tablets, the prerequisites are now met for bringing <span
class="il">cloud</span> computing to the <span class="il">mobile</span> domain. While first commercial products are restricted to the sharing of files, contacts, and calendars among different devices, more sophisticated applications still have to be developed. Future applications of <span class="il">mobile</span> <span class="il">cloud</span> computing will have an impact on almost all activities of our social and business life, and include, but are not limited to, <span class="il">mobile</span> marketing, social networks, smart cities, health care, and business processes.<br><br>IEEE <span class="il">MobileCloud</span> <span class="il">2014</span> will provide a great platform to allow researchers and professionals in the industry to exchange their latest research results and development activities on <span class="il">mobile</span> <span class="il">cloud</span> computing and services. The primary objective is to share research ideas and results,
emerging industry technologies, and latest advances. The conference solicits original technical papers, not previously published and not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br><br> - <span class="il">Mobile</span> <span class="il">cloud</span> computing models, infrastructures, and approaches<br><br> - <span class="il">Mobile</span> <span class="il">cloud</span> new service models and engineering approaches<br><br> - Green computing in <span class="il">mobile</span> <span class="il">cloud</span> networking and computing<br><br> - Resource and service management, provision, and migration<br><br> - Transmission protocols and scheduling algorithms<br><br> - Mobility modeling, management and measurement techniques<br><br> - <span class="il">Mobile</span>-aware <span class="il">cloud</span> databases and data retrievals<br><br> - Content/context-aware networking for <span
