Abstract

Due to the exponential growth in the number of internet-of-things (IoT) devices like smartphones and smart traffic lights, the data generated by the devices and the service requirements are increasing. The biggest issue in accessing the cloud computing is that all processing is done on cloud resources. For cloud-based services, it is utmost required to send all data to cloud resources which leads to many issues and challenges. The important issues are large volume of data, low latency rate, low bandwidth. In order to resolve such issues, there is an essential need of a smart computing paradigm which works as a moderator between cloud computing and IoT devices to improve the performances of the services, maximizing utilization of computing resources, storage. This work presents an overview and description of fog computing in the context of cloud computing and internet of things (IoT) and also sheds light on the key differences between cloud computing and fog computing. This work also presents various issues and challenges in the context of fog computing with its various applications.
