Elucidating the challenges for the praxis of fog computing: An aspect‐based study

Abstract

Summary The evolutionary advancements in the field of technology have led to the instigation of cloud computing. The Internet of Things paradigm stimulated the extensive use of sensors distributed across the network edges. The cloud datacenters are assigned the responsibility for processing the collected sensor data. Recently, fog computing was conceptuated as a solution for the overwhelmed narrow bandwidth. The fog acts as a complementary layer that interplays with the cloud and edge computing layers, for processing the data streams. The fog paradigm, as any distributed paradigm, has its set of inherent challenges. The fog environment necessitates the development of management platforms that effectuates the orchestration of fog entities. Owing to the plenitude of research efforts directed toward these issues in a relatively young field, there is a need to organize the different research works. In this study, we provide a compendious review of the research approaches in the domain, with special emphasis on the approaches for orchestration and propose a multilevel taxonomy to classify the existing research. The study also highlights the application realms of fog computing and delineates the open research challenges in the domain.

Nature‐inspired resource management and dynamic rescheduling of microservices in Cloud datacenters

“…Furthermore, the framework may also be integrated with self‐management capabilities 39 to perform SLA‐aware autonomic rescheduling of microservices. The recent Fog computing paradigm 40 facilitates the deployment and execution of Internet of Things applications designed as microservices. The TIARM framework may be further extended to consider the characteristics of Fog environments and perform rescheduling of Fog applications.…”

Using Intelligent Edge Devices for Predictive Maintenance on Injection Molds

“…The first were centralized, and relied mainly on the computational power of the cloud [44]. With the increasing number of assets being monitored and the high volumes of generated data, these approaches evolved into decentralized and modular solutions, exploiting the capabilities of edge devices to reduce the network latency and the storage requirements of the cloud [45]. For example, in [46], the authors preprocessed data and ran ML algorithms on edge devices, integrating these features within a modular platform with computational cloud capabilities.…”

Smart Fog-Based Video Surveillance with Privacy Preservation based on Blockchain

“…A gigantic volume of data is generated from Internet of Everything (IoE) with a wide variety that needs technologies to become capable to perform a quick analysis of data streams. Here, authors have reviewed various fog computing advancements and application domain aspects in a structured manner with recent advancements that emphasises on the platform management [21].…”
