IEEE Mobile Cloud 2024

The 12th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Cloud Computing, Services and Engineering

July 15-18, 2024 | Shanghai, China

https://ieeemobilecloud.com

IEEE Mobile Cloud is a pioneering IEEE sponsored international conference devoted to the research in mobile, edge, and cloud computing. It covers all aspects of mobile, edge, and cloud computing from architectures, techniques, tools and methodologies to applications. This year's conference is scheduled to take place in Shanghai, China, from 15-18 July 2024. IEEE Mobile Cloud 2024 is part of the IEEE International Congress On Intelligent And Service- Oriented Systems Engineering offering a broad spectrum of international events, sharing renowned keynotes and fostering exchange among researchers and practitioners (see common homepage for all colocated events, https://ieee-cisose-congress.org).

The fusion of mobile communications, computing, and intelligence is catalysing the emergence of innovative systems and applications that facilitate intelligent resource provisioning, process extensive data from mobile sensors and interconnected hardware platforms, and bolster the Internet of Things (IoT) through robust edge and cloud-based backend infrastructure. The pivotal role of current and forthcoming communication technologies, machine learning implementation, and mobile cloud infrastructures as facilitators for this convergence cannot be understated. These mobile intelligent applications are poised to revolutionise various facets of daily life, encompassing domains such as transportation, e-commerce, healthcare, smart homes, smart cities, social interaction, and more.

Mobile intelligence serves as an inclusive platform for both academic and industrial researchers to share their latest research insights, experimental findings, and the latest advancements in industry technologies related to mobile systems, machine learning, edge and cloud computing, services, and engineering. Leveraging the synergy of mobile communications, machine intelligence, edge computing, and edge/cloud infrastructures, the future of Mobile Intelligence Systems is envisioned to provide a multitude of critical and personalised services across diverse application domains, ranging from education, transportation, to public health, safety, and security. Submissions will be evaluated on the criteria of originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and accuracy.
