April 20-23, 2020 [Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The Fifth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2020) http://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2020/index.php Paris, France. April 20-23, 2020 (Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section) *FMEC 2020 CFP:* 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).

April 20-23, 2020 (Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section) *SCE 2020 CFP* Smart cities provide next generation engineering approaches for urbanization. Smart cities aim to exploit the intellectual and social capital as its core ingredient for urbanization, in addition to the physical and ICT infrastructure. Smart cities are driven by several interdependent trends. These include a pressing need for environmental sustainability, and peoples’ increasing demands for personalisation, mobility and higher quality of life. Technological developments such as miniaturization of devices, internet of things (IoT), big data, and decreasing costs of computational entities have also accelerated the smart cities developments. Smart cities encompass all aspects of modern day life, transportation, healthcare, entertainment, work, businesses, social interactions, governance, etc. It is therefore necessary to engineer smart cities as complex systems of systems supported by a converged ubiquitous infrastructure. A key challenge in the realization of smart cities is to create an ecosystem of digital infrastructures that are able to work together and enable dynamic real-time interactions between various smart city subsystems. With this background, this workshop invites submissions that propose state of the art solutions for smart cities systems engineering. A particular focus of the workshop are the studies that involve cloud computing, fog computing, and mobile edge computing technologies. Original articles including modelling and empirical studies and development, as well as relevant surveys are welcome. The topics of interest of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * IoT based developments for smart cities engineering * Big data technologies for smart cities * Modelling and analysis of smart city technologies and systems * Mobile applications for smart cities * Analytics for smart cities * Cloud computing based approaches for smart city engineering * Fog and edge computing based approaches for smart city engineering * Cloudlet based approaches for smart city engineering * Studies focused on communication networks for smart cities * Information management for smart cities * Smart buildings, smart homes and smart energy grids * Transportation, healthcare, and governance for smart cities * Security and privacy of smart city systems *Submission* Papers selected for presentation will appear in the SCE and FMEC Proceedings, which will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion.

Conventional IoT applications assumed homogeneous networks with static devices, while future applications are envisioning heterogeneous environments with different radio hardware, where nodes may or must move. This means that IoT networks will experience topological changes, deriving from variations in the surrounding environment, such as electromagnetic noise, physical conditions (temperature, humidity, pressure), and moving entities (people, vehicles, animals, furniture, objects). Under unreliable constrained wireless networks for IoT networks, messages may frequently be lost or delayed. Consequently, as constrained devices move around different wireless networks, its connectivity may be frequently disrupted, and power can be drained rapidly due to the massive amount of signaling messages for network discovery. This can in turn result in the loss of important sensing data or imposing large delays for real-time applications such as healthcare monitoring and factory automation. Moreover, existence of a heterogeneous network will increase probability of interference for devices operating in same frequency band. Beside physical mobility, interference will also impose topological changes (known as logical mobility) in such a heterogeneous IoT network, which in turn will degrade network performance. Dealing with the dynamics of these heterogeneous IoT networks, involving mobile entities extremely resource-constrained is very challenging. The Fog Computing paradigm is an architectural enabler for designing more flexible networks. Fog computing extends the Cloud-like services to the network edge to deal with IoT devices locally to carry out most of the storage, communication, control, configuration and management. TOPICS OF INTEREST: • Mobile Edge/Fog computing system architectures • Mobility support by SDN paradigm • Virtualization and isolation technologies • 6TiSCH in mobile Fog/Edge computing • Network slicing in constrained environments • Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues • Blockchains for mobile IoT networks • Intrusion detection algorithms • Challenges and open Issues for mobile Fog/Edge computing • Quality of Service (QoS) improvement techniques • Mobility support for real-time application domains • Data storage, processing, and management in mobile IoT networks • Admission control in mobile IoT networks • Mobility support in mesh IoT networks • Integration of IoT and 5G networks • Heterogeneity and interoperability in mobile networks • Modelling and simulation of Fog/Edge IoT networks • System and network management in mobile IoT networks • Programming models, abstractions, and software engineering for fog computing in mobile IoT networks • Artificial intelligence and machine learning computing in mobile IoT networks SUBMISSION: Papers must be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures without incurring any page charges.
