Call For Papers
Recent advances in cloud computing and mobile networks have triggered interest in a new computing paradigm called mobile cloud computing. Smart devices and Internet play vital role in deploying a wide variety of applications using mobile cloud computing. The mobile phones, for example, are not just an entertaining system any more ? as the technology grows every day, all handhold gadgets are getting smarter enough to handle time and mission critical applications which are, indeed, important for human life. On the other side, cloud computing has made a revolution on the computing world by using the non-traditional devices and mechanisms for computing purposes. When these two fields converge, it can be used to address many real-life problems. Consequently, currently, a variety of applications are being ported on mobile devices and integrated with the clod infrastructure successfully. Health applications and systems are gaining huge attention from various communities and mobile cloud computing helps in meeting the challenges of pervasive heath care environment. However, the limited capabilities of mobile devices require the support of cloud services to cater to the demands of health applications. The emerging mobile cloud computing technology offers promising solutions to develop health related applications. This workshop is aimed at addressing issues related to the development of mobile cloud computing based architectures, deployment models, application development, and tools and techniques that would contribute to the development of next generation of health care systems. This workshop invites high quality unpublished research papers that consist of the state-of-the-art research and development of mobile cloud computing for health related applications.
Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
? Design of Methods and Protocols
? Architectures and deployment models
? Channel allocation, scheduling and bandwidth management policies
? Modeling, simulation studies on health related applications
? Methods, Tools and Techniques for mobile cloud based health applications
? QoS, QoE models and performance issues
? Studies on Virtualization and cloud infrastructure
? data and storage architectures
? Studies on impacts of social media and network analysis with a focus on health applications
