In the recent years, cloud computing has cultivated the outsourcing of computing
resources like IT infrastructures, service platforms, and software. With the
emergence of ultra-fast 4G mobile networks and highly-featured smartphones and
tablets, the prerequisites are now met for bringing cloud computing to the
mobile domain. While first commercial products are restricted to the sharing of
files, contacts, and calendars among different devices, more sophisticated
applications still have to be developed. Future applications of mobile cloud
computing will have an impact on almost all activities of our social and
business life, and include, but are not limited to, mobile marketing, social
networks, smart cities, health care, and business processes.

IEEE MobileCloud 2014 will provide a great platform to allow researchers and
professionals in the industry to exchange their latest research results and
development activities on mobile cloud computing and services. The primary
objective is to share research ideas and results, emerging industry
technologies, and latest advances. The conference solicits original technical
papers, not previously published and not currently under review for publication
elsewhere. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

– Mobile cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches
– Mobile cloud new service models and engineering approaches
– Green computing in mobile cloud networking and computing
– Resource and service management, provision, and migration
– Transmission protocols and scheduling algorithms
– Mobility modeling, management and measurement techniques
– Mobile-aware cloud databases and data retrievals
– Content/context-aware networking for mobile clouds
– Mobile multimedia services, and mobile social community services
– Location-based mobile cloud applications and service models
– Mobile cloud middleware and open sources
– Collaboration, management, and mobile cloud administration
– Mobile cloud knowledge engineering and data mining techniques
– Virtualization techniques for mobile cloud computing and services
– Security and privacy enhancements for mobile cloud computing and networking
– Mobile cloud malware detection and defensive mechanisms
– Mobile cloud enabled Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) solutions
– Personal cloud, ad hoc cloud, distributed cloud computing and service models
– Mobile cloud sensing service and crowdsourcing
– Mobile cloud E-business models, services, and applications
– Mobile cloud enabled pervasive learning and education
