DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, mobile devices have evolved to support an am
 algam of multimedia applications and content often delivered by Cloud serv
 ices. In order for mobile devices to access Cloud resources\, a solution f
 or constant and reliable connectivity is required. This issue is being tac
 kled in 5th Generation Networks by the introductions of mechanisms to supp
 ort seamless handovers between networks thus providing a tighter coupling 
 between Cloud resources and mobiles. This convergence of technologies crea
 tes new challenges in the areas of traffic management and QoS provisioning
 .\nThis presentation explores a novel service delivery framework\, centred
  on the convergence of Mobile Cloud Computing and 5G networks for the purp
 ose of optimising service delivery in a mobile environment. The framework 
 serves as a guideline for identifying different aspects of service provisi
 on in a mobile environment.  Service delivery mechanisms that are responsi
 ble for optimising the Quality-of-Service and managing network traffic are
  then examined in detail and a solution for managing traffic through dynam
 ic service localisation based on user mobility and device connectivity is 
 presented.  A prototype implementation in a virtualised environment as a p
 roof of concept is also discussed. Finally\, an analytical model is used t
 o evaluate the modelling of network Quality-of-Service whilst taking into 
 account user mobility. \n\nFragkiskos Sardis received his Bachelor (First 
 Class Honours) from Middlesex University in 2008.He received a scholarship
  for a Master degree in Computer Networks at Middlesex University whichhe 
 completed in 2009 with distinction. In 2010 he received a scholarship by M
 iddlesex University for a PhD in the area of Cloud computing and mobile ne
 tworks. Throughout his studies\, he has worked as an I.T. administrator\, 
 network architect and I.T. consultant. His other areas of interest include
 \, network security\, wireless communications and distributed computing.\n
