<p style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:justify;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">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 facilitate 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 style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:justify;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">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 2024 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 2024 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 2024 is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Sweden Section. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to the following:</span><u></u><u></u></p>
