The concept of cloud computing provides a brand new opportunity for the development of mobile applications since it allows the mobile devices to maintain a very thin layer for user applications and shift the computation and processing overhead to the virtual environment. Several organizations such as ABI Research have predicted that cloud computing will completely transform the way mobile applications are being developed, acquired, and used. However, mobile cloud computing is also facing many challenges such as the dependency on continuous network connections, data sharing applications and collaboration, and security. These problems must be carefully investigated before mobile cloud computing can become the next big thing. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in all aspects of mobile cloud computing, including but not limited to:
