FMEC 2018 Call for Papers:
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).
FMEC 2018 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 2018 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:
