*_FMEC 2025 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 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.

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 2025 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 2025 is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Florida Section. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to the following:

* Fog and Mobile Edge Computing in unmanned aerial vehicle communications and applications * Fog and Mobile Edge Computing in mission-critical systems * Intelligent Transportation Systems * Edge-cloud computing architectures, frameworks and platforms * Edge-cloud networking and communication * Quality of Service (QoS) improvement techniques * Network virtualization for Edge-to-cloud systems * FMEC and IoT Data Communication Protocols * Industrial Fog and Mobile Edge Computing Applications * Mobile Cloud Computing Systems and Applications * FMEC in Environmental Sustainability * Trustworthy AI for Edge and Fog Computing * Security and Privacy in Fog and Mobile Edge Computing * Decentralized Data Management and Streaming Systems in FMEC * Data storage, processing, and management at FMEC platform * Federated learning and distributed machine learning in the fog and on the edge * 5G and fog/edge computing * Middleware and runtime systems for fog/edge infrastructures * Energy-efficient fog/edge computing * Edge/fog-to-cloud APIs and protocols * Mobility, connectivity, heterogeneity support for edge/fog services * Load balancing/scheduling in fog/edge computing * Crowdsourcing and establishing trust on data sources * Decision support systems for Edge-cloud computing * AI-based or data-driven orchestration of workflows in Edge computing * Automatic cheduling and deployment of workflows and services in Edge computing * Distributed management of Edge computing * Mechanisms and data structures for the governance of Edge computing * Interfaces, orchestration and optimization of the Networking-Computing continuum * In-network computing for the edge-cloud continuum * Novel programming models for Edge computing * Dynamic Edge/Fog environments * Automatic deployment and continuous dynamic composition of Edge services * Semantic annotation of Edge/Fog services *  AI in Autonomous Urbanism

*_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 email 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.
