*** Call for Papers ***

 

Mobile cloud computing represents one of the latest developments in cloud computing advancement. In particular, mobile cloud computing extends cloud computing services to the mobile domain by enabling mobile applications to access external computing and storage resources available in the cloud. Not only mobile applications are no longer limited by the computing and data storage limitations within mobile devices, nevertheless adequate offloading of computation intensive processes also has the potential to prolong the battery life.

 

Besides, there is also an incentive for mobile devices to host foreign processes. This represents a new type of mobile cloud computing services. Ad-hoc mobile cloud is one instance that mobile users sharing common interest in a particular task such as image processing of a local happening can seek collaborative effort to share processing and outcomes. Vehicular cloud computing is another instance of mobile cloud computing that exploits local sensing data and processing of vehicles to enhance Intelligent Transportation Systems.

Submission and Major Guidelines 

===============================

The special issue invites original research papers that present novel ideas and encourages submission of "extended versions" of 2-3 Best Papers from the IEEE Mobile Cloud 2015 conference and IEEE ICC 2015 Workshop on Cloud Computing Systems, Networks and Applications (CCSNA). Every submitted paper will receive three reviews and will be selected based on the originality, technical contribution and scope.

 

Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers should be submitted directly to the IEEE TCC at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tcc-cs, and must follow TCC formatting guidelines.

 

For additional information, please contact Chuan Heng Foh (c.foh at surrey.ac.uk)
