International Workshop on Mobile Cloud Computing for Health Care Applications (m-HAPPS’13) In conjunction with 15th IEEE International Conference on e-Health Networking, Application & Services (IEEE HEALTHCOM 2013) Lisbon, Portugal – October 09-12, 2013 http://www.ieee-healthcom.org

Call For Papers Recent advances in cloud computing and mobile networks have triggered interest in a new computing paradigm called mobile cloud computing. Smart devices and Internet play vital role in deploying a wide variety of applications using mobile cloud computing. The mobile phones, for example, are not just an entertaining system any more – as the technology grows every day, all handhold gadgets are getting smarter enough to handle time and mission critical applications which are, indeed, important for human life. On the other side, cloud computing has made a revolution on the computing world by using the non-traditional devices and mechanisms for computing purposes. When these two fields converge, it can be used to address many real-life problems. Consequently, currently, a variety of applications are being ported on mobile devices and integrated with the clod infrastructure successfully. Health applications and systems are gaining huge attention from various communities and mobile cloud computing helps in meeting the challenges of pervasive heath care environment. However, the limited capabilities of mobile devices require the support of cloud services to cater to the demands of health applications. The emerging mobile cloud computing technology offers promising solutions to develop health related applications. This workshop is aimed at addressing issues related to the development of mobile cloud computing based architectures, deployment models, application development, and tools and techniques that would contribute to the development of next generation of health care systems. This workshop invites high quality unpublished research papers that consist of the state-of-the-art research and development of mobile cloud computing for health related applications.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

• Design of Methods and Protocols • Architectures and deployment models • Channel allocation, scheduling and bandwidth management policies • Modeling, simulation studies on health related applications • Methods, Tools and Techniques for mobile cloud based health applications • QoS, QoE models and performance issues • Studies on Virtualization and cloud infrastructure • data and storage architectures • Studies on impacts of social media and network analysis with a focus on health applications

Submission Perspective authors are invited to submit their papers using EDAS System (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=14603). A full paper should not have more than five (5) IEEE style pages including results, figures and references. Papers will be reviewed with the standard reviewing procedure (with at least 3 independent anonymous reviews). Accepted papers will be published on IEEExplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/). Important Dates - Papers Submissions Deadline: April 30, 2013 - Notification of Acceptance: June 30, 2013 - Deadline for Author Registration: August 15, 2013 - Deadline for Camera-ready Papers: August 31, 2013
