 1st international Workshop on Mobile Cloud Networking (MCN 2013)
  


(http://mcn2013.unibe.ch)



Organized in conjunction with IEEE International Communications Conference
(ICC 2013) 9-13 June 2013, Budapest, Hungary.



The workshop will address the integration of two technologies that are
expected to have significant impact in the ICT area for the next

decade(s): next generation mobile communication networks (mainly 4G) and
cloud computing. While mobile communication networks have been established
decades ago and are still continuously evolving, cloud computing became a
hot topic in recent years and is expected to have significantly impact on
novel applications as well as on ICT infrastructures.



Cloud computing and mobile communication networks have been considered
separate from each other in the past. However, there are various possible
synergies between them. First, 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. Second,
there is an increasing trend to implement more and more functions of a
mobile communication network in software, e.g., for signal and protocol
processing. This enables the use of cloud computing infrastructures as
processing platforms for signal and protocol processing of mobile
communication networks, in particular for current (4G) and future (5G)
generation networks. In particular, the integration of protocol and
application/service processing enables 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 will discuss emerging technologies in cloud computing and
mobile communication networks. Moreover, it will focus on possible
integration scenarios and synergies between them.



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

may use the standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or

LaTeX. Alternatively you can follow the IEEE Communications Society's

guidelines for attendees and authors. Only PDF files are accepted for

review.



To submit the paper, use the EDAS online submission system. All

submitted papers will go through a peer review process. All accepted

and presented papers will be included in the IEEE ICC 2013

proceedings. IEEE reserves the right to exclude an accepted and

registered but not presented paper from the IEEE digital library.

Extended versions of selected best papers will be recommended for

publication in Special Issues of prestigious International Journal.
