 Call for Papers

The 1st Workshop on Mobile Cloud Networking (MCN 2013) 
will be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on 
Communications 2013 (ICC 2013) on 
June 9-13, 2013, in Budapest, Hungary. 
More information: http://mcn2013.unibe.ch  

The workshop will bring together researchers, engineers and users, who are 
interested in future mobile telecommunication networks and/or cloud computing 
applications and enabling technologies. MCN will discuss recent trends in 
telecommunication networks and cloud computing and will in particular focus on 
challenges to be solved when integrating these technologies as well as possible 
synergies of these technologies. 

Access to cloud storage and computing service via wireless/mobile networks 
should be optimized in terms of delay, bandwidth and energy consumption from an 
end user perspective. Moreover, there is an increasing trend to implement more 
and more functions of a mobile telecommunication network in software, e.g., for 
signal and protocol processing. This enables to use cloud computing 
infrastructures as processing platform for signal and protocol processing of 
mobile telecommunication networks, in particular for current and future 
generation mobile telecommunication networks. In particular, the integration of 
protocol and application/service processing allows several opportunities to 
optimize performance of cloud applications and services observed by the mobile 
user, whose device is connected to the cloud via wireless access networks. 

The workshop solicits original contributions in the topics of interest for the 
workshop. Those topics include but are not limited to the following: 

         Protocols and wireless network technologies for mobile cloud 
applications
         Network virtualization for mobile cloud networks
         Energy-saving at mobile end systems in network elements supporting 
mobile cloud applications
         Distributed mobility management, including mobility prediction
         Future Internet architectures and protocols for mobile cloud 
computing, including content-centric / context-based networking
         Network and protocol support for delay-tolerant applications
         Cloud computing in opportunistic networks
         Management and allocation of mobile cloud resources, including SLA 
management
         Cloud service management and migration
         Seamless handover support for mobile cloud applications
         Resource and service monitoring in mobile cloud networks
         Physical radio resource sharing
         End-to-end performance of mobile cloud applications
         Novel cloud-based implementation architectures for mobile 
communication networks
         Quality-of-Experience in mobile cloud applications
         Cloud-based applications and services for mobile users, including 
social networks
         (Participatory) sensing and mobile cloud applications, including data 
aggregation
         Security and privacy issues of mobile cloud computing, including 
authentication and authorization
         Accounting and charging of mobile cloud services 
         Testbeds and performance evaluation for mobile cloud networking and 
applications

Papers must be submitted via the EDAS submission site at 
http://edas.info/N13433 or at https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=12627 by 
selecting the ICC'13 - IEEE ICC'13 - Workshop MCN. Please follow carefully the 
submission guidelines below. These are also available at IEEE International 
Conference on Communications 2013 (ICC 2013). 

Papers should be written in English with a standard length of five (5) printed 
pages (10-point font) including figures, without incurring additional page 
charges (maximum 1 additional page with extra charge if accepted). You may use 
the standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats 
found at http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html. 
Alternatively you can follow the sample instructions in template.pdf at 
http://www.comsoc.org/confs/globecom/2008/template.pdf. Only PDF files are 
accepted for paper review. You submitted PDF file and registered EDAS account 
of a paper must list the same author(s), title and abstract (minor wording 
differences in the abstract are ok). Papers where the PDF and EDAS account do 
not match the author(s), title, and/or abstract will be withdrawn by the 
Technical Program Co-Chairs or Symposium Co-Chairs.
