Call for Papers:

Cloud computing provides large range of services and virtually unlimited
available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality
and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of
resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the
delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially
when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human?s life
such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud
computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location
awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have
introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile
Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer
to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and
resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud
data centers) to the edge of the network closer!
  to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric
service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the
heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the
billions of connected mobile devices.  Several features enable the Fog and
the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned
purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting
mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, some
challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which
are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data
storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy,
location privacy, etc).

This Conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for
Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel
contributions that help mitigating Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That
is, the objective of FMEC 2016 is to provide a forum for scientists,
engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results
and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC).
