computing provides a 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 the 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="text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="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). FMEC 2021 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 2021 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 2021 is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Spain Section.
Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all
major areas, which include, but not limited to:<span></span></span></p>

should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11"
two-column format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted
electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper can be up to 8 pages
(including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must present
original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other
conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines may be rejected
without review. Also submissions received after the due date, exceeding length
limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors may
contact the Program Chair for further information or clarification. All
submissions are peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will
appear in the FMEC Proceeding, and be published by the IEEE Computer Society
Conference Publishing Services and be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion. <br>
