Mobile Cloud Computing is a new computing paradigm where mobile devices exploit the available cloud computing platform for performing specific tasks and/or accessing data on demand rather than on the individual devices themselves. A key element missing in current mobile cloud computing design is a sufficient consideration on bandwidth availability and energy consumption for both cloud computing and mobile devices. In this workshop, experts from the MobileCloud project will present and discuss emerging approaches and technologies to bridge this gap, addressing how mobile cloud computing services can be delivered in such environments in a highly efficient and energy-efficient manner.
Speakers from top European and Chinese universities, partners in the project, will present the most recent research results achieved.
Moreover, two invited speakers will offer overviews on the roles plaid by Mobile Cloud Computing in big-data analysis and fixed-mobile convergence.

MobileCloud is an FP7 Marie Curie IRSES project, where eight leading universities and research institutions in Europe and China jointly investigate innovative methodologies and approaches to optimize mobile cloud computing resources in the emerging cloud computing era.
