Welcome message from the IEEE mobile cloud 2015 TPC co-chairs

On behalf of the whole Technical Program Committee, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Cloud Computing, Services, and Engineering (IEEE Mobile Cloud 2015), held in San Francisco, CA, USA. We hope that you will fully enjoy and benefit from the papers in this year's program, which we believe represent a fresh and vivid overview of the different hot research subareas associated with mobile cloud computing nowadays. This year we received 53 paper submissions from 21 different countries. We selected 15 as full papers and 10 as short papers. Due to timing constraints for oral presentations, we accepted 10 high-quality papers as short papers (with a shorter presentation time slot). Papers are distributed over 8 sessions (plus a dedicated poster session), with no parallel presentation; the sessions cover state-of-the-art topics and areas of strong international relevance, spanning from mobile cloud computing infrastructures and platforms to mobile cloud data services and security, from efficient scalability and performance optimization of mobile cloud to service models and practical experiences of application deployment. We really hope that these sessions will provide good opportunity for the IEEE Mobile Cloud 2015 attendees, especially students and young researchers, to interact with one another in informative and informal settings, with adequate and not too restricted time allocated for sessions in order to promote in-depth technical interactions, exchange of opinions, and networking.
