CALL FOR PAPERS -- MCS 2015

The Sixth International Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing and Services
Co-located with ACM MobiCom 2015, Paris, France
http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/mcs/2015/index.html

Mobile systems are resource-constrained due to their small form factors. It
is natural to consider enhancing them with the massively more resourceful
data centers that are distant (a.k.a. the cloud) or located close by (a.k.a
edge servers). In fact, many of today's mobile applications already
leverage the cloud, usually via a client-server model and the web. To some
extent, mobile systems have become the user interface of the cloud; and the
cloud has become the backend of these mobile systems. The MCS workshop is
intended to be a forum for exchanging new ideas about the synergy and
symbiosis of mobile and cloud: new ways to leverage the cloud to serve
mobile users and new challenges to the cloud raised by mobile accesses. The
scope of the workshop will encompass a broad range of systems and
networking topics that explore this synergy between mobile devices and the
cloud.

INTERNET OF THINGS and MOBILE CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES

The proliferation of low-cost networked objects, combined with a growing
consumer appetite, is driving the long awaited IoT revolution. At MCSthis
year, we will examine what this powerful trend means for the future of
mobile cloud technology. For example, wearables and smartphones are
increasingly playing prominent roles in the emerging IoT ecosystem. What
future cloud services and network models will be required when our personal
devices are routinely in contact with thousands of smart objects per day?
We invite the submission of technical and position papers that explore the
intersection of IoT and Mobile Cloud Services. A special technical session
will be devoted to this topic during the workshop including invited
speakers to promote vigorous debate and discussion.

More broadly, MCS still solicits the best new ideas and the latest
breakthrough results on any topic that is relevant to the mobile-cloud
technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

= Applications and Services
= Context awareness
= Data mining and Machine Learning
= Economic Considerations
= Energy Efficiency
= Experience in developing and deploying mobile-cloud services
= Networking
= Operating system support
= Security and Privacy
= Programming languages and models
= Virtualization
= Mobile web
