ACM Mobile Cloud'13

Mobile computing paradigm has transformed the way we compute and communicate in recent years. An increasingly large number of applications are now being ported to the mobile platforms. Processing power of mobile computers and smart phones are steadily improving as we see Dual core and Quad-core processors in handheld devices. However, the requirements from users largely surpass the storage as well as processing capability. This gap between the resource demand and supply in the mobile computing environment can only be filled by embracing cloud computing in a much larger scale than we use today. Mobile Cloud Computing is, therefore, emerging as the next step in the evolution of ubiquitous computing and personal communications. The proposed workshop Mobile Cloud 2013 will attract a larger community interest because many mobile applications that demand huge storage and processing power cannot be realized by any other mechanism.

This workshop will address challenges in distributed computing in mobile cloud. This fosters interdisciplinary collaborative research in the area of next generation of computing infrastructure with high impact on resource management, distributed computing, service management, reliability, energy and cost efficient in-network processing and security where few or all devices are controlled by third parties and resources are distributed over a dynamic network.

We encourage the submission of high quality papers and work-in-progress in related topics including but not limited to:

Mobile Cloud Virtualization
Privacy and Security issues in Mobile cloud
Energy efficient storage mechanisms in Mobile Cloud
Embedded system software issues in Mobile Cloud
Service profiles and models in Mobile Cloud
Resource management solutions in Mobile Cloud
Efficient database management systems in Mobile Cloud
Big data analysis in cloud computing environment in Mobile Cloud
Network access mechanisms for Mobile Cloud
Efficient data cache management schemes in Mobile Cloud
Performance evaluation techniques in Mobile Cloud
Software Engineering issues in Mobile Cloud
Software Subscription models in Mobile Cloud
Cloud computing architectures for Mobile Cloud
Novel applications for Mobile Cloud
Infrastructure development for Mobile Cloud
Service models for Mobile Cloud
Processor design for Mobile Cloud
Energy harvesting for Mobile Cloud applications
Ad hoc/Mesh communications over Mobile Cloud

This workshop encourages the submission of broader theoretical and practical research contributions with contribution to traffic, military, coalition, and disaster scenarios. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in deploying and managing distributed computing in a dynamic heterogeneous environment.
