Wireless and ubiquitous connectivity have enabled mobile computing and
Internet access on the go as a life-enhancing and indispensable experience
of modern life. More than 50 billion devices, in more than 200 device types,
will likely be connected to the Internet by 2020 as integral components of a
new generation of high-value application services for consumers and
enterprises. API-defined mobile services have become essential ubiquitous
services consumption and delivery enablers for many industries and
government organizations worldwide. The 2017 IEEE International Conference
on AI & Mobile Services (AIMS) aims at providing an international forum that
is dedicated to exploring different aspects of mobile services (from
business management to computing systems, algorithms, and applications) and
to promoting technological innovations in research and development of mobile
services, including, but not limited to, wireless & sensor networks, mobile
& wearable computing, mobile enterprise & eCommerce, ubiquitous
collaborative & social services, machine-to-machine & Internet-of-things
clouds, cyber-physical integration, and big data analytics for
mobility-enabled services.

AIMS 2017 will co-locate with IEEE CLOUD 2017, ICWS 2017, SCC 2017, BigData
Congress 2017, SERVICES 2017, ICCC 2017, ICIOT 2017, and ICFC 2017.
