Welcome message from the IEEE mobile cloud 2015 TPC co-chairs
No full textOn 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

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
