Popis: The fourth industrial revolution related to the Internet of Things (IoT) is leading to the emergence of future smart cities and cyber-physical systems with a rapidly increasing of smart connected objects (such as personal devices, sensors, actuators). Therefore, companies such as Telcos, Cloud and Service Providers have to analyze a huge amount of data that probably lead to the reduction of available bandwidth and subsequent increase of network latency. In this context, Fog Computing and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) can be suitable paradigms to solve this kind of problems. The exploitation of the heterogeneous environment allows a better performance for mission-critical and time-critical applications. In this paper we present a scenario that exploits the MECs in order to detect abnormal or critical events such as terrorist threats, natural and man-made disasters. The proposed solution allows cooperation among the Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) to rapidly notify the users which are close to the critical area.
