Proceedings of the first edition of the MCC workshop on Mobile cloud computing
It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 1st edition of MCC, the Cloud Computing Workshop associated with SIGCOMM. We are happy to have this event in Europe, the home of much of the pioneering work on mobile social networks and mobile clouds. The MCC workshop will feature a keynote speaker. John Crowcroft, internationally renowned authority in wireless and mobile computing, will deliver the keynote on mobile cloud computing focusing on the recent development of Personal Cloud named NyMoTe. MCC will also host a panel on Mobile Cloud Computing: Open the Pandora's Box. The panel will be formed by outstanding academic scholars and well-established industrial researchers in the area of mobile cloud computing. They will present their recent research results, and present their vision about the future of mobile cloud computing. Confirmed panelists include Dr. Fan Bai (General Motors), Dr. Kyu-Han Kim (HP research lab, USA) and Jorg Ott (Aalto University, Finland). The workshop has a single track program comprising three sessions that offer selected papers in a broad range of mobile cloud computing topics - from mobile cloud architecture to mobile social networks, mobile cloud based sensing, and mobile cloud computing foundations, models, and applications. The main theme that emerges from these diverse contributions, and the main message to our attendees, is the coming together of different technologies, from low power sensor radios to ad hoc networks, mesh and cellular networks to enable integrated, pervasive mobile and cloud computing.
