*_FMEC 2022 CFP:_*

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.

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 2022 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 2022 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 2022 is Technically 
Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section. Researchers are encouraged to 
submit original research contributions in all major areas, which 
include, but not limited to:

*_Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings_*

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. 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.

Submitted papers must include original work, and must not be under 
consideration for another conference or journal. Submission of regular 
papers up to 8 pages and must follow the IEEE paper format. Please 
include up to 7 keywords, complete postal and e-mail address, and fax 
and phone numbers of the corresponding author. Authors of accepted 
papers are expected to present their work at the conference. Submitted 
papers that are deemed of good quality but that could not be accepted as 
regular papers will be accepted as short papers. Length of short papers 
can be between 4 to 6 pages.
