Proceedings of ICETIT 2019

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 605))

Abstract

With the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) millions of devices and sensors are connected to each other producing a huge amount of data. To analyze and compute the data, it is sent to the cloud but because of latency, bandwidth and storage problem we need some computing paradigm near to edge devices. Fog computing is an extended version of cloud computing which extend some of its services to the end user level. The emerging rate of mobile traffic needs mobility and wide geographical distribution which is fulfilled by Fog Computing. In this paper, we will discuss how Fog computing is providing different services to the users which were lacking in cloud paradigm. We will be discussing the main features of Fog computing and how it is solving challenges faced by the IoT paradigm.
