IEEE Mobile Cloud 2018 - Call for Papers The 6th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Cloud Computing, Services, and Engineering March 26 - March 29, 2018 - Welcome Hotel, Bamberg, Germany http://www.mobile-cloud.net
Call for WiP/Demos/Posters
Call for Work-in-Progress Papers and Demos/Posters
Submission deadline for Work-in-Progress papers and demos/posters : 5 January 2018
IEEE Mobile Cloud 2018 will provide a great platform to allow researchers in academia and industry to share their latest research ideas and results, development activities, and the emerging industry technologies on mobile cloud computing, services, and engineering. The conference solicits original technical papers, not previously published and not currently under review for publication elsewhere.
We welcome Work-in-Progress (WiP) papers that describe original and unpublished research on the integration of mobile computing and cloud services and engineering. In addition, we also welcome demos and poster papers that present ongoing work in the related topics.
WiP and demo/poster papers are expected to present early or ongoing research activities. Novel approaches and preliminary results are especially appreciated.
Submission guidelines for WiP papers and demos/posters:
The length of WiP papers is limited to 6 pages, including figures, tables, and references. Up to 2 additional pages may be purchased with extra page fee upon the approval of the Program Chairs.
The length of poster/demo papers is limited to 4 pages in length, including figures, tables, and references.
NOTE: Authors should specify in the title whether they are submitting a WiP paper or demo/poster. For instance, the title of a WiP paper should appear as follows: “Work-in Progress: Paper’s Title” whereas a demo and poster paper should have a title “Demo: Paper’s Title” and “Short Paper: Paper’s Title”, respectively.
The submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by members of the IEEE Mobile Cloud 2018 Technical Program Committee. All selected papers will be orally presented in a related conference session. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the conference to present the work. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be submitted to IEEE for inclusion in the Digital Library in IEEE Xplore.
Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in standard IEEE proceedings format in PDF. All submissions must be typeset in double-column IEEE format using 10pt fonts on US letter paper, with all fonts embedded. Submitted papers must include the contact information of all the authors. Please make sure you use the latest version of the templates to prepare your submissions. Due to the short interval between the notification of acceptance and the camera-ready deadline, we strongly encourage authors to follow the camera-ready formatting guidelines as close as possible.

**************************************************************** ** Extended deadline for paper submission: December 3rd, 2017 ** **************************************************************** The integration of mobile computing and cloud services and engineering enables new applications that provide resources and services on an intelligent basis, process big data collected from mobile sensors, and support Internet of things (IoT) with massive cloud-based backend. Such applications will have tremendous impacts on almost every aspect of our daily life, including transportation, e-commerce, healthcare, safety and location privacy, smart home and smart city, social interaction, and many more. This conference will provide a great platform to allow researchers in academia and industry to share their latest research ideas and results, development activities, and the emerging industry technologies on mobile cloud computing, services, and engineering. 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. # Scope Topics of interest, embedded with the special interest on the annual theme, include, but are not limited to: Theory, Modeling and Methodologies Mobile cloud computing models, architectures, and platforms Testing methodologies for mobile cloud services and applications Engineering on-demand mobile cloud systems and services Design of energy-saving mobile cloud protocols Cloud-IoT integration, cloud-centric IoT and software defined IoT Mobile crowd sensing models and associated platforms Mobile cloud resource management, provisioning, and migration Mobile-aware cloud data management and data retrieval Mobile cloud data centers, storage, and networking technologies for 5G Mobile artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning Virtualization techniques for mobile cloud computing and services Security, reliability and privacy for mobile cloud computing Applications and Industry Practice Mobile multimedia and mobile social community services Cloud-assisted human-centered applications based on wearable devices Mobile commerce and cloud-based marketplace Intuitive user interfaces for cloud-based mobile applications Mobile cloud enabled pervasive learning and education Research case studies and experimental reports Industry reports on experience and lessons learned Standardization on mobile clouds # Organizing Committee General Chairs: Luca Foschini (University of Bologna, Italy) Haiping Xu (University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, USA) Program Chairs: Peter Ruppel (Technische Universitテ、t Berlin, Germany) Burak Kantarci (University of Ottawa, Canada) Toru Kobayashi (Nagasaki University, Japan) Local Chair Wirtz, Guido (University of Bamberg, Germany) Finance Chair Jerry Gao (San Jose State University, USA) Publicity Chairs Stefano Chessa (University of Pisa, Italy) Habib M.
