management, location management, wireless network management, security
and privacy); fundamentals in cloud computing (e.g., cloud networking,
cloud security, cloud management, cloud middleware, cloud energey
management); interplay of mobile and cloud computing (offloading
mechanisms, computing offloading, storage agumentation); mobile and
cloud computing applications. We are going to study various systems
in depth by discussing merits and limits of different systems and
conflicts and synergy among different systems.
