MobileCloud 2013 - The IEEE International Symposium on Mobile Cloud,
Computing and Service Engineering
San Francisco Bay, USA, March 26-28, 2013
http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/gaojerry/IEEEMobileCloud2013/

Scope and Visions:

This symposium will provide a great platform to allow researchers and
professionals in the industry to exchange their latest research
results and development activities on mobile cloud computing and
services. The primary objective is to share research ideas and
results, emergent industry technologies on the latest advances in
mobile cloud computing and services, and mobile computing and
applications.

During two days, the symposium will host a number of invited speakers
who will give tutorials and research talks related to security issues
in mobile computing and cloud computing.
