style="font-family:"Times New
Roman",serif">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). </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
