</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(50, 51, 51);">Fog Computing aims to support the Internet of Things (IoT) through ultra low latency, ultra fast data processing, high security and reliability and highly efficient resource utilisation. However, the current
approaches to Fog/Edge Computing have raised some concerns with respect to privacy; for example, extending CDN DNS redirection and private key delegation models to numerous applications increases the likelihood of exposing the edge to further attacks. There
is also the challenge of supporting hierarchical and/or multi-access scenarios that go beyond traditional telco-controlled access provision. Furthermore, providing compute resources at the VM-level of granularity may not be suitable for some lightweight and
short-lived functions, especially for IoT. These challenges call for alternative networking models that can support higher fluidity in distributing in-network functions, in addition to allowing fast and scalable processing and exchange of information.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(50, 51, 51); min-height: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(50, 51, 51);">Over the recent years, Information-centric Networking (ICN) has emerged as a networking paradigm that places information exchange, for the purpose of its processing, in the foreground. ICN brings advantages
related to the security, management and dissemination of information, through flexible and information-based routing policies; combining these advantages with the ability to temporarily and spatially decouple communication entities, ICN seems well suited for
the Fog Computing paradigm, since computation can happen at the right place any time by virtue of publishing and subscribing to it.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(50, 51, 51); min-height: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(50, 51, 51);">This workshop aims at stimulating research focused on the networking models, communication frameworks and security solutions required to facilitate Fog Computing. The research directions will focus on accommodating
the requirements of data processing and information networking within emerging, information-focused, networking paradigms such as ICN. This is reflected in a number of aspects, including: enabling short-term content caching, fluid distribution of in-network
functions, high-speed data analysis, programmable control and management planes, resiliency and security of fog networks, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, coordinated management, resource consumption, privacy and orchestration of data processing and
information production. The outcomes of the workshop should levitate communication frameworks that have the ability to accommodate the immense expansion of business models, applications and services, within future Fog networks.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(50, 51, 51); min-height: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(50, 51, 51);">The workshop solicits papers that address aspects of the above areas with a main focus on facilitating networking solutions that enable dynamic and flexible fog networking through joining concepts of softwarisation
and virtualisation paradigms for better management and dissemination of information. We encourage papers that address cross-layer research issues in any combination of these areas, bridging the gaps between IoT, Fog/edge Computing, ICN, Network Function Virtualisation
(NFV) and SDN.</div>
