During the last two decades, a number of new nations emerged and played their intense role in changing human lifestyle. The growing demand for smart city and big data stimulates innovation, and the development of new smart applications is becoming important. Internet of things comprises billions of devices, people, and services, and entitles each to connect through sensor devices. The economic development of a city leads to better life quality and improved citizen services. Thus, this chapter discusses the background of big data, IoT, and smart city. It also discusses the collaborative approach of all the above. The various related work and future research direction for implementing smart city with the concept of big data and IoT would be addressed in this chapter.
Internet of Things (IoT) enables inters connectivity among devices and platforms. IoT devices such as sensors, or embedded systems offer computational, storage, and networking resources and the existence of these resources permits to move the execution of IoT applications to the edge of the network and it is known as fog computing. It is able to handle billions of Internet-connected devices and is well situated for real-time big data analytics and provides advantages in advertising and personal computing. The main issues in fog computing includes fog networking, QoS, interfacing and programming model, computation offloading, accounting, billing and monitoring, provisioning and resource management, security and privacy. A particular research challenge is the Quality of Service metric for fog services. Thus, this paper gives a survey of cloud computing, discusses the QoS metrics, and the future research directions in fog computing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
