IN CONJUNCTION WITHThe 2nd IEEE Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing
(FMEC-2017) <http://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2017/> and
The 4th IEEE Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS-2017)
<http://emergingtechnet.org/SDS2017/>

*Call for Papers:*

With a Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) market value of US$9.5 billion in 2014
and with more than 1 trillion cloud-ready devices in the next four years,
MCC is considered as one of today's hottest new technologies in both
academia and industry. MCC integrates different major technologies such as
smart devices technologies (phones, tablets, watches, …etc), cloud
services, big data, and cloud computing in one platform that services the
end users. Despite the rapid growth of MCC, many issues are still
challenging and need to be addressed. These challenges are related to the
underlying networks, cloud services, security, the required Quality of
Service, the availability of services, the needed user data management, and
many others. The International Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing systems,
Management, and Security (MCSMS) is introduced as a forum for scientists,
researchers, students, and practitioners to present their latest research
results, ideas, and developments in the area of Mobile Cloud Computing that
addresses the aforementioned challenges.
The MCSMS-2017 workshop aims to investigate the opportunities and
requirements for Mobile Cloud Computing, as well as Fog and Edge Computing
domains. The objective of MCSMS-2017 is to provide a forum for scientists,
engineers, and researchers to discuss their research and results on all
aspects of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) as well as Fog and Mobile Edge
Computing (FMEC). Researchers are encouraged to submit original research
contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:

* Mobile Cloud Computing Systems.
* Mobile Cloud Computing Security and Privacy Issues.
* Mobile Cloud Computing Pricing and billing models.
* Mobile Cloud Computing support for VANETS and MANETS
