<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>FMEC 2020 CFP:</u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">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. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:8.0pt;
text-align:justify">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). </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:8.0pt;
text-align:justify">FMEC 2020 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 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 France
Section.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings :</u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:105%">Manuscripts
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. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:105%">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
