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. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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 2020 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). FMEC is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Italy
Section, IEEE SMC Italian Chapter and Italy Section VT/COM Joint Chapter.
