Scope -

Mobility is rapidly turning out to be a critical component of many next generation networking systems. Prominent among these include Mobile Vehicular Networks, Mobile Social Networks, Mobile Sensor Networks, Next Generation Cellular Networks, Mobile Clouds etc. While computing in the presence of mobility has been a well studied topic in the Networking arena of late, the emphasis has centered on only Mobile AdHoc Networks (MANETs).

Unfortunately, many assumptions made in traditional MANETs like mobility models, purpose/ scope of mobility, social aspects, network scale do not hold in many emerging mobile networks. Consequently, existing theories, architectures and protocols in traditional MANETs for issues like data delivery, data management, reliability, security, privacy etc. are not enough to be applied for emerging mobile networks, and need a ground-up redesign. Furthermore, a vast number of problems related to computing over wireless communications are emerging in networks like vehicular safety, fairness in content sharing, mobility centric threats and countermeasures, and performance of mobile cloud computing that are yet to be explored in detail.

The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers, practitioners and students to disseminate and exchange original research ideas on important topics in a wide class of emerging mobile networks.
