It is natural to consider enhancing them with the massively more resourceful data centers that are distant (a.k.a. the cloud) or located close by (a.k.a edge servers). In fact, many of today's mobile applications already leverage the cloud, usually via a client-server model and the web. To some extent, mobile systems have become the user interface of the cloud; and the cloud has become the backend of these mobile systems. The <span class="">MCS</span> workshop is intended to be a forum for exchanging new ideas about the synergy and symbiosis of mobile and cloud: new ways to leverage the cloud to serve mobile users and new challenges to the cloud raised by mobile accesses. The scope of the workshop will encompass a broad range of systems and networking topics that explore this synergy between mobile devices and the cloud. </div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">INTERNET OF THINGS and MOBILE CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES </div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">The proliferation of low-cost networked objects, combined with a growing consumer appetite, is driving the long awaited IoT revolution. At <span class="">MCS</span>this year, we will examine what this powerful trend means for the future of mobile cloud technology. For example, wearables and smartphones are increasingly playing prominent roles in the emerging IoT ecosystem. What future cloud services and network models will be required when our personal devices are routinely in contact with thousands of smart objects per day? We invite the submission of technical and position papers that explore the intersection of IoT and Mobile Cloud Services. A special technical session will be devoted to this topic during the workshop including invited speakers to promote vigorous debate and discussion. </div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">More broadly, <span class="">MCS</span> still solicits the best new ideas and the latest breakthrough results on any topic that is relevant to the mobile-cloud technology.
