_FMEC CFP_

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).

FMEC 2019 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 2019 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). Researchers are encouraged to submit original 
research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not 
limited to:

* Mobile Cloud Computing Systems.
