[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The Eighth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2023) emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2022/index.php <http://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2023/index.php> Tartu, Estonia. September 18-20, 2023 Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Estonia Section *FMEC 2023 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 2023 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 2023 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).

References need to start with a new page! Contact author must provide the following information at the ARES conference system: paper title, authors' names, affiliations, postal address, phone, fax, and e-mail address of the author(s) (all authors listed as authors in the paper have to be added to the paper in EasyChair already during the initial submission! if authors need to be added later on contact us), and about three keywords. Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. Note: Submission of a paper implies that - should the paper be accepted - at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the conference. *New* single blind review: CD-MAKE does not require anonymized submissions. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three experts from the conference committee and additional reviewers (e.g. special sessions).
