CMCPS 2014 - Cloud-Assisted Mobile Computing and Pervasive Services Workshop (CMCPS 2014)

Advances in mobile communication networks and increasing deployments of mobile smart devices have brought rich mobile experiences to end users. However, further improvement of service quality and large deployment of mobile pervasive services are hampered by resource constraints of mobile devices and bandwidth limitations of wireless networks. Recently, mobile cloud computing is emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm to extend the capabilities of mobile devices and platforms, which, in turn, are changing the industrial production and people's daily life. Developments of innovative pervasive mobile services, e.g., mobile video streaming, rich media dissemination, surveillance, e-gaming, e-health care, etc., can be greatly facilitated by mobile cloud computing platforms employing emerged and emerging technologies.
This workshop seeks original, previously unpublished papers proposing technical contributions and solutions that promoterecent advances in cloud-assisted mobile computing and pervasive services.Networking paradigms to be covered in this workshop include:
