Abstract

In some applications of IoT, it is imperative to hasten the processing of data in order to get real-time conclusions. With this objective, CISCO devised fog computing, a next-generation networking technology. It resembles to the cloud but in a miniature form, which serves the edge of the network from a closer geographic location. It has the ability to enhance the yields of ubiquitous smart networks and is a step forward toward a smarter world. In this paper, an effort has been made to expound the underlying concept of fog computing technology with a comparison with other similar technologies. The challenges of this technology highlighted along with recent work progress to address them are also discussed.
