http://www.mobile-cloud.net/<br><br> Oxford, UK, 8-11 April 2014<br><br> Co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society<br><br><br><br>In the recent years, cloud computing has cultivated the outsourcing of computing<br><br>resources like IT infrastructures, service platforms, and software. With the<br><br>emergence of ultra-fast 4G mobile networks and highly-featured smartphones and<br><br>tablets, the prerequisites are now met for bringing cloud computing to the<br><br>mobile domain. While first commercial products are restricted to the sharing of<br><br>files, contacts, and calendars among different devices, more sophisticated<br><br>applications still have to be developed. Future applications
of mobile cloud<br><br>computing will have an impact on almost all activities of our social and<br><br>business life, and include, but are not limited to, mobile marketing, social<br><br>networks, smart cities, health care, and business processes.<br><br><br><br>IEEE MobileCloud 2014 will provide a great platform to allow researchers and<br><br>professionals in the industry to exchange their latest research results and<br><br>development activities on mobile cloud computing and services. The primary<br><br>objective is to share research ideas and results, emerging industry<br><br>technologies, and latest advances. The conference solicits original technical<br><br>papers, not previously published and not currently under review for publication<br><br>elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br><br><br><br> - Mobile cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches<br><br> - Mobile cloud new service models and
engineering approaches<br><br> - Green computing in mobile cloud 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> - Mobile-aware cloud databases and data retrievals<br><br> - Content/context-aware networking for mobile clouds<br><br> - Mobile multimedia services, and mobile social community services<br><br> - Location-based mobile cloud applications and service models<br><br> - Mobile cloud middleware and open sources<br><br> - Collaboration, management, and mobile cloud administration<br><br> - Mobile cloud knowledge engineering and data mining techniques<br><br> - Virtualization techniques for mobile cloud computing and services<br><br> - Security and privacy enhancements for mobile cloud computing
and networking<br><br> - Mobile cloud malware detection and defensive mechanisms<br><br> - Mobile cloud enabled Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) solutions<br><br> - Personal cloud, ad hoc cloud, distributed cloud computing and service models<br><br> - Mobile cloud sensing service and crowdsourcing<br><br> - Mobile cloud E-business models, services, and applications<br><br> - Mobile cloud enabled pervasive learning and education<br><br><br><br><br><br>PAPER SUBMISSION<br><br><br><br>The length of a camera-ready paper will be limited to 10 pages. All papers<br><br>should be prepared using the IEEE format. Each paper will be reviewed by at<br><br>least three TPC members. Authors must submit their manuscripts using the<br><br>EasyChair conference system. For details of the submission process, please see<br><br>http://www.mobile-cloud.net/call-for-papers<br><br><br><br><br><br>PAPER PUBLICATION<br><br>All accepted papers will
be published by IEEE Computer Society Press (EI-Index)<br><br>and included in IEEE Digital Library. For publication, each accepted paper is<br><br>required to be registered at full rate by one of its authors and presented at<br><br>IEEE MobileCloud 2014. Selected papers (updated version) will be published in<br><br>journals, such as Journal of Internet Technology (SCIE indexed), Journal of<br><br>Communications, International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge<br><br>Engineering (IJSEKE-SCI indexed), and International Journal of Handheld<br><br>Computing Research.<br><br><br><br><br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br><br><br><br> - Abstract submission: October 15, 2013<br><br> - Full paper submission: October 22, 2013<br><br> - Review notification: December 31, 2013<br><br> - Camera-ready: January 15, 2014<br><br> - Registration: January 15, 2014<br><br> - Conference: April 8-11, 2014<br><br><br><br><br><br>ORGANIZING
