*Introduction*

PMCFN 2013 is the 2nd one after the first workshop held in 2012 in
conjunction with ICCSA 2012. We know that various mobile networking and
computing technologies are becoming common to the people day by day.
Parallel computing fields also have gained a lot of advancements in the
recent years. In the course of advancements, lots of new terms like Cloud
computing, Grid computing, Cluster computing, P2P, Parallel computing, have
been coined and have become well-known by this time. While many of these
technologies work in static networks, some mechanisms also work in networks
that support mobility of devices. Hence, combination of parallel and mobile
computing in different network settings puts forward different research
issues to solve. This is an interesting problem how to allow parallel or
distributed processing in a network that supports mobility, as such setting
incurs the unreliability factor. Alongside the developments in these two
fields, the advancements of small smart device technologies like sensor
technologies, RFID technologies have given some good flavor to the
distributed networking and computing fields. Complex mixture of these
mechanisms is shaping the operational structure of the future networks. As
this is an area of enormous potential and possible real-life implementation
in the coming days, there are many research issues to work on so that the
resources could be managed efficiently, securely, and reliably. This
workshop is organized to focus on managing resources and devices with
parallel and mobile computing technologies that could be significant for
future networks.
