Smart Grid, Internet of Things and Fog Computing

  • First Online:
Architectural Transformations in Network Services and Distributed Systems

Abstract

In the previous chapters, we have highlighted the evolution of computing environments from single systems to parallel architectures, clusters, grids, service-oriented systems and clouds. This line of evolution is a purely digital one without considering the form factor of computing. From the physical perspective, there is another line of evolution which puts the form factor and communication channels into the centre. Starting with mini-PCs and embedded computers, nowadays distributed computing can be performed in wearable computers and body-area networks, tiny nodes organised as fogs or smart dust, connected to the Internet of Things, and in the “Smart Grid”, using various protocols. This chapter therefore outlines physical computing paradigms and compares the computing, storage and communication capabilities.
