Abstract
Fog Computing enables new applications and services by extending IoT and Cloud Computing to the edge of the network with the help of a distributed compute, network and storage infrastructure. These new IoT systems will mainly be self-efficient systems without any direct human interaction and be organized into types of macro endpoints. We will discuss a few of these systems and their requirements like smart traffic lights or smart connected vehicles, smart buildings and smart grid before we dig deeper into the Fog Platform requirements, the edge to cloud (core) relationship as well as the architecture.
