Call For Papers

************ IEEE Mobile Cloud 2018 - Call for Papers **************

The 6th IEEE International Conference on
Mobile Cloud Computing, Services, and Engineering
http://www.mobile-cloud.net/
Bamberg, Germany March 26 - March 29, 2018

***** Extended deadline:
- Paper submission: December 3, 2017
*****

The integration of mobile computing and cloud services and engineering enables
new applications that provide resouces and services on an intelligent basis,
process big data collected from mobile sensors, and support Internet of things
(IoT) with massive cloud-based backend. Such applications will have tremendous
impacts on almost every aspect of our daily life, including transportation,
e-commerce, healthcare, safety and location privacy, smart home and smart city,
social interaction, and many more.

This conference will provide a great platform to allow researchers in academia
and industry to share their latest research ideas and results, development
activities, and the emerging industry technologies on mobile cloud computing,
services, and engineering. The conference solicits original technical papers,
not previously published and not currently under review for publication elsewhere.
Papers will be judged on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and
correctness. Extended versions of the best papers will be invited for fast-track
publication in a planned Special Issue on Mobile Cloud Computing of the IEEE
Cloud Computing Magazine.

* PAPER PUBLICATION
All accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press (EI-Index)
and included in IEEE Digital Library. For publication, each accepted paper is
required to be registered at full rate by one of its authors, and at least one
author is required to attend and present the paper at the conference for the
paper to be included in the final technical program and the IEEE Digital Library.
The length of camera-ready papers will be limited to 8 pages with no surcharge.
Up to 2 additional pages may be purchased with extra page fee upon the approval
of the Program Chairs.


* WORKSHOP/TUTORIAL PROPOSALS SUBMISSION
IEEE Mobile Cloud 2018 will host multiple one-day or half-day workshops in
conjunction with the main conference; topics of interest include any major
research area associated with mobile cloud middleware and applications, as
well as relevant large-scale experiences (from academic/industry projects)
in the field. The proposed workshops should focus on fostering discussion
among participants as well as community building. A workshop proposal should
contain at least the following information:

* Name and possible acronym of the workshop
* Motivation and rationale for the workshop
* Draft call-for-papers, including introduction and topics of the workshop
* A list of program committee (PC) members

IEEE Mobile Cloud 2018 seeks half-day tutorial proposals, which should provide
clear and focused teaching material covering new and emerging topics related to
the main conference. A tutorial proposal should describe concisely the content,
importance, and timeliness of the tutorial, as well as the targeted potential
audience.

Workshop and tutorial proposals must be submitted via email to the Program
Chairs.
