Fog and IoT: An Overview of Research Opportunities
Fog is an emergent architecture for computing, storage, control, and networking that distributes these services closer to end users along the cloud to things continuum. It covers both mobile and wireline scenarios, traverses across hardware and software, resides on network edge but also over access networks and among end users, and includes both data plane and control plane. As an architecture, it supports a growing variety of applications, including those in the Internet of Things (IoT) fifth generation (5G) wireless systems, and embedded artificial intelligence (AI) This survey paper summarizes the opportunities and challenges of fog, focusing primarily in the networking context of IoT.
