Industry 4.0 refers to the phase of transition that is taking place, enabling automation and data interchange in industrial technologies and processes. Fog computing architecture can provide real-time processing, nearby storage, extremely low latency, dependability, large data rates, and other requirements for industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. In the context of IoT applications, fog infrastructure and protocols are the main areas of interest. The phrase “fog computing,” sometimes known “edge cloud,” is a new paradigm. Between edge devices and Cloud Core, it adds another layer. Along with providing computing, storage, and networking capabilities, it also fills a need left by the cloud. The main features of fog computing are covered in this chapter, along with current research on the subject and a focus on the difficulties encountered when creating its architectural design.
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.
