Major Theme:
 
Today's fast advance of mobile computing and cloud computing is bring a new paradigm
shift from conventional mobile computing and wireless communications services to mobile
cloud computing and services over wireless internet in the real world. Many people believe
that mobile cloud computing will not only completely change the current way of delivering
mobile computing and communication services to global mobile users, but also alter their
working and life styles with seamless global mobile resource sharing and accesses.
 
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. This symposium will
host a number of invited speakers who will give tutorials and research talks related
to issues in mobile computing and cloud computing. The program topics and tracks
