The 1st International Workshop on Mobile Social Networking and Cloud Computing (MSC 2011)
in cooperation with
The 2nd International Conference on Security-enriched Urban Computing and Smart Grids (SUComS 2011)
September 21-23, 2011, Hualien, Taiwan
Workshop Theme :
In the last decade, the rapid growing of network technology introduces the concept of applying social services on Internet and produces a new generation network – the social network, which abstracts the connections beyond physical host to the really human. As the social network websites attract tremendous users to communicate, interact, and connect with each other in every second. The potential of social network is impossible to be ignored. Since social network comes with a large amount of possible applications and has different characteristics of information generation and transmission. There exists several challenges and design issues that need to be overcome and integrated with different kinds of network technologies. Among those popular integrated network technologies, cloud computing represents a paradigm shift from existing IT infrastructure to using the services of software applications, computing and storage over wide-area distribution networks. This trend is being empowered by drastic performance improvement of the IT infrastructure components together with key innovations in the way cloud computing infrastructure is built, such as virtualization, distributed computing, multi-core processors, service-oriented architectures. Social networking and cloud computing technology have taken more and more attention in recent years. This workshop strives to foster state-of-the-art research pertaining to social networking and cloud computing, especially for mobile services, in the area of advanced technologies and innovative applications.
Goals :
International Workshop on Mobile Social Networking and Cloud Computing (MSC 2011) is a forum to bring together business people, researchers, scientists, software architects, and industry professionals to discuss innovative ideas and diverse topics on the advance of mobile social networking and cloud computing. Using this forum, researchers and practitioners can exchange issues, challenges, new business models and structures, and new technologies and solutions.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original and research papers addressing business and technical issues, challenges, solutions, and technologies in building mobile wireless software systems and applications.
