Research Area:  Fog Computing

Abstract:

Out of the many computing and software oriented models that are being adopted by Computer Networking, Fog Computing has captured quite a wide audience in Research and Industry. There is a lot of confusion on its precise definition, position, role and application. The Internet of Things (IOT), todays digitized intelligent connectivity domain, demands real time response in many applications and services. This renders Fog Computing a suitable platform for achieving goals of autonomy and efficiency. This paper is a justification of the concepts, interest, approaches, and practices of Fog Computing. It describes the need for adopting this new model and investigate its prime features by elucidating the scenarios for implementing it, thereby outlining its significance in the IoT world.
