Call for Chapters
Mobile Computing over Cloud: Technologies, Services, and Applications
Editors: Joel J. P. C. Rodrigues, Kai Lin, and Jaime Lloret
INTRODUCTION
Mobile computing over cloud is a potential technology that uses mobile devices
in combination with cloud computing.
This book wants to take account of developments and trends that are taking
place in the area of mobile computing over
cloud.
Providing optimal services for mobile users over cloud do not need a powerful
configuration since all the data and
complicated computing modules can be processed in the clouds. Nowadays, many
research of this area are likely to
enter the domain with carrier-cloud services and give new chances for mobile
network providers. It will also help to
advance the mobile cloud in industry and corporate settings.
OBJECTIVES AND MISSION
The mission of the book is to be a fundamental source for the advancement of
knowledge, application, and practice in
the interdisciplinary areas of mobile network and cloud computing. The book
will address innovative concepts and
critical issues in the emerging field of vehicular wireless network.
The book seeks to show interesting research experiences and applications of
mobile computing over cloud around the
world. It can help to disseminate them. The book will be an important way to
communicate important concepts of mobile
computing over cloud.
TOPICS
We invite authors to submit original technical chapters offering novel research
contributions in any aspect of mobile
computing over cloud, covering but not limited to the topics of interest listed
below:
- Applications of mobile computing over cloud
- Networks and systems design
- Mobility measurement, modeling, and simulation
- Energy management
- Physical layer and antenna technologies
