IEEE WCNC 2013 Mobile Cloud Computing and Networking Workshop

7-10 April 2013, Shanghai, China

Cloud computing is on the hype but largely confined in wired networks.
With the rapid advancement of both wireless network technologies and
mobile smart phones, there is an increasing need for cloud services to
be equally accessible by mobile users, thus rendering a new research
field of mobile cloud computing (MCC). In this workshop, MCC refers to
a vision and its associated enabling technologies that facilitate an
infrastructure where both the data storage and the data processing
happen outside of the mobile device. Current cloud computing
architecture, platforms and services need to evolve, by taking into
consideration the specific features of mobile networks that are
different from these of fixed IP networks, to better serve cloud
applications operating over mobile wireless networks. Apart from
investigating into mobile IaaS framework, which provides fundamental,
infrastructure-level support to MCC, SaaS (software as a service) is
particularly attractive to mobile applications. This is because a SaaS
can free resource-constrained mobile devices from having many
applications installed and executed on them.

The other side of the mobile cloud story is networking, which is
largely neglected by the cloud computing research communities. This
can be addressed from two different angles. One angle is how the
wireless networks can be engineered to provide better connectivity
support to cloud services. For example, discussions have started as to
whether and how LTE BBUs can be separated from their frontend radio
unit and then put together into a pool (cloud) to increase resource
utilization and energy efficiency.

On the other hand, there is also the aspect of how wireless networks
can take advantage of the advanced features of cloud computing to
solve network problems. Therefore, this workshop will solicit papers
that address either aspect or both aspects of the above two issues
(i.e., computing and networking) and therefore provide a unique and
unified venue for a more holistic discussion of the research issues
and outcomes concerning mobile cloud computing.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)

* Cross-layer issues in mobile cloud computing and networking such as
network-aware cloud and cloud-aware wireless networks
* Computing issues in mobile cloud such as overall system
architecture, protocols, algorithms
* Networking issues in mobile cloud such as network routing, resource
allocation, scheduling, quality of services
* Heterogeneous wireless infrastructure for mobile cloud computing
* Media cloud over wireless networks
* Mobile cloud for Internet of Things
* Energy efficiency in mobile cloud computing systems and networks
* Network-aware VM (Virtual Machine) selection, migration, scheduling.
* Protocols and algorithms for cloud-aware wireless networks
* Quality of Service assurance in cloud-enabled wireless networks
* Billing issues in mobile cloud systems and networks
* Mobile cloud network resource management, mobility management and
traffic engineering
* Fault tolerance and service availability
* Mobile cloud network management and adaptation
* Application-layer mobile cloud service engineering
* Testing and evaluation tools
* Prototype systems and real-world deployment experiences
* Standardization of mobile cloud computing and networking

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 6-page IEEE conference
style paper (including all text, figures, and references) through EDAS
submission system
