<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Cloud
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
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><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify"><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 202<span><span style="color:black">4</span></span>
conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for
Mobile Edge Computing
dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help
mitigate Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective of
FMEC 202<span><span style="color:black">4</span></span>
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
