      The 15th International Wireless Communications and
              Mobile Computing Conference

              Mobile Computing Symposium
       (submission link:  https://edas.info/N24856)
**********************************************************************

Mobile computing has become the norm rather than the exception with the 
proliferation of
mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT), edge commuting and 
advancements of communication
technologies. The increasingly growing number of applications and smart 
services on the go in
every domain and widespread adoption of these services pose new 
challenges on the supporting
infrastructure related to networking performance, scalability, 
architecture sustainability, user
and data privacy, security, service delivery, among others. In addition, 
the enormous amount of
data collection that takes place in these services/applications opens 
incredible opportunities, yet
present a plethora of challenges for sensing, transmission, storage, 
processing, management and
analytics. Such increased complexities at the different levels of the 
entire software and hardware
stack require new paradigms, architectures and protocols to tackle 
dynamic topology in mobile
networking, resource constraints, heterogeneous architectures, 
impracticality of centralized
approaches, weak survivability, and unattended resolution of potential 
failures. Novel
contributions in machine learning techniques and big data analytics 
frameworks are also
required to turn big sensor data into actions, embed intelligence into 
service operation, provide
deep insights, generate predictive analytics and support real-time 
decision making. As one of
the technical symposia of the 2019 International Wireless Communication 
and Mobile
Computing Conference (IWCMC 2019), Mobile Computing Symposium seeks 
cross
disciplinary innovative research ideas and significant research on all 
aspects of mobile systems,
applications, and services from academia and industry.

Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE IWCMC 2019 proceedings and 
will be
submitted to the IEEE digital library (IEEE Xplore).
