MobiCC 2012 - 2012 IEEE Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing MobiCC 2012

MobiCC 2012 (Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing)
In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Communications in
China 2012
http://network.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn/mobicc/index.htm...
In the past few years, mobile devices and wireless communication
technologies have developed rapidly. With the explosion of mobile
applications and user demands, some characteristics of mobile devices such
as limited resources (e.g., computation and storage capacity, battery
power, etc.) significantly impede the improvement of QoS. Mobile Cloud
Computing (MCC) is born to tackle these limitations by integrating cloud
computing into the mobile environment. It enables users to elastically
utilize resources in an on-demand fashion, takes full advantages of cloud
computing, and brings new types of services and facilities to users by
providing ubiquitous service access. Several organizations have predicted
that cloud computing will completely transform the way in which mobile
applications and services are acquired, developed and used.
However, there are still many obstacles for MCC, including service
availability, mobility management, security, privacy, energy efficiency,
etc. These problems must be carefully addressed before MCC could become
the next big thing. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and
practitioners interested in all aspects of mobile cloud computing,
including but not limited to:
? New architecture of middleware and applications in mobile cloud computing
? Distribution of resources and computation between mobile devices and the
cloud
? Measurement and modeling for mobile cloud computing
? Task or resource out-sourcing
? Transmission protocols and scheduling algorithms for mobile cloud
computing
? Availability and reliability of mobile cloud services
? Fairness and isolation of mobile devices in the cloud
? Collaborative operations in mobile cloud computing
? Data sharing and collaboration
? Mobile multimedia content delivery with cloud computing
? Software structure for mobile cloud application
? Cloud-based mobile media system
? Mobile social network in cloud computing
? Location based services in mobile cloud environment
? Context-aware services and computing
? Energy-aware wireless communication technologies for mobile cloud
computing
? Security and privacy protection in mobile cloud computing
? Novel mobile cloud computing applications and systems
