“…Thus, the prime types of microservices, this application-agnostic framework should set up and deploy into different infrastructures (cloud, edge, and IoT) are general-purpose microservices, network-management microservices, and security-management microservices. The general purpose microservices are orchestrated for a particular application goal, network management microservices are deployed to organize virtual networks among microservices (P20) [8] and security management microservices reinforce development of cross-platform security-enabled microservices (P18) [9].…”

“…Moreover, there is need of a technology that could boost access control to protect digital resources and grant privileges to the users to access them. Blockchain technology (P18) [9] provides a secure and resilient approach for controlling and managing MEL's heterogeneity in an osmotically federated environment through an SDMem [53]. This is the initial work done that proposes orchestration of MEL through an SDMem implementing blockchain facilities with strict adherence to principles of osmotic computing.…”

Osmotic computing in association with related computing paradigms (cloud, fog, and edge) emerges as a promising solution for handling bulk of security-critical as well as latency-sensitive data generated by the digital devices. It is a growing research domain that studies deployment, migration, and optimization of applications in the form of microservices across cloud/edge infrastructure. It presents dynamically tailored microservices in technology-centric environments by exploiting edge and cloud platforms. Osmotic computing promotes digital transformation and furnishes benefits to transportation, smart cities, education, and healthcare. In this article, we present a comprehensive analysis of osmotic computing through a systematic literature review approach. To ensure high-quality review, we conduct an advanced search on numerous digital libraries to extracting related studies. The advanced search strategy identifies 99 studies, from which 29 relevant studies are selected for a thorough review. We present a summary of applications in osmotic computing build on their key features. On the basis of the observations, we outline the research challenges for the applications in this research field. Finally, we discuss the security issues resolved and unresolved in osmotic computing.

“…Buzachis and Villari [58] implemented SDMem like Villari et al [59] but with a private blockchain to ensure the integrity and ownership of data transferred and processed in micro services. A private blockchain is used to record all transactions related to micro services related to the cloud and edge.…”

Blockchain technology is getting more and more pertinent to solve most of the digital problems that we face today. Blockchain is notable for its prominent features like immutability, decentralization, consensus, privacy, and security. However, blockchain is still suffering from different barriers like quantum attacks, scalability problems, integration problems, incompetence to face bigdata, storage problems, and so on. The main aim of this study was to find out the scope, various problems raised, and the applicability of blockchain technology when integrated with different computing paradigms like cloud computing, edge computing, fog computing, osmotic computing, big data computing, and quantum computing. To conduct this study, we have surveyed different research articles in the combination of blockchain technology and computing paradigms. Based on this survey, we have mentioned the contemporary research works, challenges, and a list of possible research opportunities and solutions.
