Recent Advances in Computational Intelligence Paradigms for Security and Privacy for Fog and Mobile Edge Computing

Submission Deadline: 31 August 2017

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Recent Advances in Computational Intelligence paradigms for Security and Privacy for Fog and Mobile Edge Computing.

Today, Cloud Computing services are becoming indubitable parts of modern information and communication systems in our daily lives. Cloud Computing has proven to be an incredible technology for provisioning quickly deployed and scalable information technology (IT) solutions at reduced infrastructure costs. 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 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. However, FMEC services open a number of security and privacy issues and challenges that is becoming a key research area. The concept of applying computational intelligence (CI) approaches in Fog and Mobile Edge computing analysis is feasible and sound. Moreover, CI and its associated learning paradigms have played vital roles in a large number of application areas related to security and privacy in information systems. CI paradigm consists of various branches that are not limited to expert systems, artificial immune system, swarm intelligence, fuzzy system, neural network, evolutionary computing and various hybrid systems, which are combinations of two or more of the branches.

The goal of this Special Section in IEEE Access is to bring together the state-of-art research and development on CI approaches for security and privacy of FMEC and secure FMEC services, novel attacks on FMEC services, and novel defences for FMEC services attacks and FMEC security analysis. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as comprehensive review articles that will seek to understand the CI techniques leading to real-world FMEC challenges and future improvements for security and privacy for Fog and mobile edge computing services.
