In parallel, we observe a paradigm shift to Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) which extends cloud computing to the edge of the networks. Due to MEC’s proximity to end-users, dense geographical distribution, open platform and support for high mobility, it can provide services with reduced latency and improved QoS. Thus MEC is becoming an important enabler of IoT applications that demand real-time operations. But the success of IoT strongly depends on adaptation of IoT products and services by consumers. Recognizing the importance of consumers and the benefits IoT & MEC can bring to the public, this organized session emphasizes on their consumer centric approach.

| Abstract: |
Inspiration for opportunistic networks has came from budding trends towards the pervasive computing and communication environments, where diverse networked devices with very dissimilar features of manipulating communication environment and different related capabilities of using this environment for the sake of user’s service. An opportunistic network consists of numerous nodes in the identical area. Irrespective of this still an opportunistic networking approach concedes to barter information among themselves but it may be deteriorated by delay in message transmission, as information need to be buffered and has to wait until a path is idle routing towards the destination. Vast clusters of hardware and applications are planted in a mobile unit, so as to enable it to communicate make it adequate enough to tolerate any load. Moreover, granting nodes to establish and release connections allows for further innumerable novel applications In order to support data or communication integrity and authenticity, the security service offers different operations on information to make it safe from vulnerable changes during transformation form one hop to other.
The objective of this organized session is to provide a forum for PhD Students, Academicians, researchers, scientists and engineers to present the research in this area.
