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).</font></span><span style="margin:0px;color:black"></span></p><p style="background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;margin:0px 0px 11px;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="margin:0px;color:black;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><font size="3">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:</font></span><span style="margin:0px;color:black"></span></p><p style="background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;margin:0px 0px 11px;line-height:normal"><span style="margin:0px;color:black;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-size:12pt">* </span><span style="margin:0px;color:black;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><font size="3">Mobile Cloud Computing Systems.<br> * FMEC Security and Privacy Issues.<br> * FMEC Pricing and billing models.<br> * FMEC support for VANETS and MANETS<br> * Cloudlet based computing<br> * Dew based computing<br> * Lightweight authentication mechanisms in FMEC architecture.<br> * Access Control models in FMEC.<br> * Identification of incentives for FMEC service providers.<br> * The future perspective for FMEC: Challenges and Open Issues.<br> * FMEC Quality of Service (QoS) improvements techniques.<br> * FMEC architecture features and evolution.<br> * FMEC Real-time communication interfaces and protocols.<br> * FMEC Resource scheduling that enhances the reliability and scalability.<br> * FMEC Resources monitoring mechanism and utilization measuring mechanism.<br> * FMEC resources allocation and management.<br> * Real-time load prediction model to optimize the user satisfaction.<br> * FMEC virtualization.<br> * Data storage, processing, and management at FMEC platform.<br> * Cyber hacking, next generation fire wall of FMEC.<br> * Deployment strategies of FMEC Servers<br> * Admission control for FMEC.<br> * Social engineering, insider threats, advance spear phishing.<br> * Incident Handling and Penetration Testing.<br> * Forensics of Virtual and FMEC Environments.<br> * Security protocols in FMEC.<br> * Security and privacy of mobile cloud computing<br> * Security, privacy and reliability issues of MCC and IoT<br> * Security and privacy of IoT<br> * Security and privacy management in MCC<br> * MCC intrusion detection systems<br> * Security of pricing and billing for mobile cloud computing services<br> * Security of mobile, peer-to-peer and pervasive services in clouds<br> * Security of mobile commerce and mobile Internet of Things<br> * Security of mobile social networks<br> * Security and privacy in smartphone devices<br> * Security and privacy in social applications and networks<br> * Security of Mobile, peer-to-peer and pervasive services in clouds<br> * Security of Mobile commerce and mobile internet of things<br> * Security of Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing<br> * Security and privacy in sensor networks<br> * Security and privacy in social applications and networks<br> * Web service security<br> * Security of 3G/4G systems, Wi-MAX, Ad-hoc<br> * Security of Mobile social networks<br> * Near field communication services<br> * Service-oriented architectures, service portability, P2P<br> * Network virtualization and cloud-based radio access networks</font></span><span style="margin:0px;color:black"></span></p><p style="background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;margin:0px;line-height:normal"><u><span style="margin:0px;color:black;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><font size="3">Submission</font></span></u><span style="margin:0px;color:black"></span></p><p style="background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;margin:0px 0px 11px;line-height:normal"><span style="margin:0px;color:black;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><font size="3">Papers
