Mobile Computing and Vehicle Communications Symposium, ICNC 2013 San Diego, Jan. 28-31, 2013 http://www.conf-icnc.org/2013

Advances in 3G, WiFi, and WiMax technologies have made mobile gadgets an increasingly popular means of Internet access. Deployment of 4G networks and releases of new smart phones and tablets will undoubtedly raise the demand for better signal coverage, faster transmission, and seamless adaptation. One emerging research direction is wireless access virtualization, in which a group of access points collaboratively provide the illusion of a single wide-coverage access point to simplify connection management on the client side. While enjoying the benefits of accessing information at any time from anywhere, data transmitted over the wireless medium are more susceptible to eavesdropping and packet sniffing. This raises the concerns for data authentication and privacy issues. These technical challenges are aggravated by the proliferation of various cloud services, social networking platforms, and smart connected vehicles.

This symposium is devoted to covering original contributions in the design, development, and analysis of novel architectures, platforms, protocols, and applications in mobile computing and vehicle communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

● Novel applications, and services for mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Architectures, platforms, and test beds of mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Performance characterization of mobile computing platforms ● User interfaces and systems design for mobile applications ● Mobile and/or vehicle ad hoc networks and sensor networks ● Wireless channel and media access control protocols ● Wireless access virtualization ● Resource management for heterogeneous access networks ● Service integration and inter-networking ● Practical solutions for security and privacy issues ● Analysis and solutions addressing scalability and reliability issues ● Novel mobility schemes and analysis of existing solutions ● Implementation of mobile IP and migration of IPv6 ● Cloud-assisted mobile computing and vehicle communications ● Quality of service for mobile or in-vehicle media and interactive applications ● Vehicular networking and communications for intelligent transportation system
