Mobile Cloud 2017 - 5th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Cloud Computing, Services, and Engineering

The 5th IEEE International Conference on
Mobile Cloud Computing, Services, and Engineering
http://www.mobile-cloud.net/
San Francisco, USA April 6 - April 8, 2017
The 5th IEEE Mobile Cloud conference seeks to present original and timely
research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and
deployment of mobile cloud systems, services, and applications. The integration
of mobile computing and sensing with cloud computing enables new applications
that process big data collected from the physical world, and have an impact
on almost every aspect of our daily life, including transportation, e-commerce,
healthcare, safety and location privacy, smart cities, social interaction, the
Internet of things (IoT) etc. This conference will provide a great platform to
allow researchers in academia and industry to exchange their latest research
results and development activities on mobile cloud computing, services, and
engineering. Its primary objective is to share the latest research ideas and
results, as well as the emerging industry technologies related to mobile
computing and cloud computing. 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.

EasyChair link: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeemo...
* 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 2017 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 2017 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.
