      Special Issue on Cloud-Assisted Mobile Computing and Pervasive Services 
========================================================================  

Advances in mobile communication networks and increasing deployments of mobile 
smart devices have 
brought rich mobile experiences to end users. However, further improvement of 
service quality and large 
deployment of mobile pervasive services are hampered by resource constraints of 
mobile devices and 
bandwidth limitations of wireless networks. Recently, mobile cloud computing is 
emerging rapidly as an 
exciting new paradigm to extend the capabilities of mobile devices and 
platforms, which, in turn, are 
changing the industrial production and people's daily life. Developments of 
innovative pervasive mobile s
ervices, e.g., mobile video streaming, rich media dissemination, surveillance, 
e-gaming, e-health care, etc., 
can be greatly facilitated by mobile cloud computing platforms employing 
emerged and emerging technologies. 
For example, with the support of mobile cloud computing, Body Area Networks 
(BANs) can be greatly 
enhanced for the deployment of innovative healthcare monitoring applications 
with richer multimedia 
contents, more reliable service quality and more types of convergence services. 
Moreover, adopting the 
information-centric and content-centric networking concepts and techniques, 
BANs are evolving to enable a 
highly flexible and scalable infrastructure for mobile services assisted by 
cloud computing. Due to the 
intrinsically resource-constrained features of typical mobile devices as well 
as smart sensors, it is essential 
for the mobile cloud service provider to offer sufficient computational 
resources and storage capacity support 
for pervasive services, and also maintain a reliable and capable communication 
system among the devices. 
In addition, the dynamic mobile wireless channel environments with limited 
available bandwidth make it difficult 
for mobile users to provide consistent and ubiquitous services offered by cloud 
systems. 

Scope of Contributions
