Welcome Message from the IEEE Mobile Cloud 2020 Program Chairs

On behalf of the Technical Program Committee, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 8th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Cloud Computing, Services, and Engineering (IEEE Mobile Cloud 2020), held in Oxford, United Kingdom. The conference is structured as a single-track event, providing a very nice platform to allow researchers in academia and industry alike to exchange their latest research results and developments on mobile edge and cloud computing. This year, the technical program has been extended to include emerging hot areas such as 5G network edge/cloud architectures and machine and deep learning enabled frameworks and applications for edge and cloud infrastructures. Mobile Cloud is organized in conjunction with four other IEEE conferences: the 14th IEEE International Symposium on Service-Oriented System Engineering (SOSE 2020), the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Decentralized Applications and Infrastructures (DAPPS 2020), the 6th IEEE International Conference on Big Data Computing Service and Machine Learning Applications (BigDataService 2020), and the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Testing (AITest 2020). Also, Mobile Cloud is jointly organized with the International Workshop of Security and Trust in Mobile Networks 2020 (SeTM 2020). This makes it a very rich event, which allows attendees to interact with a broader community within the edge, cloud, computing and machine learning/artificial intelligence fields. This will hopefully generate new ideas and foster collaborations.
