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). <span></span></span></p>

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:<span></span></span></p>
