Fog Computing Applications: Taxonomy and Requirements

Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing 2019-07-29 v1

Abstract

Fog computing was designed to support the specific needs of latency-critical applications such as augmented reality, and IoT applications which produce massive volumes of data that are impractical to send to faraway cloud data centers for analysis. However this also created new opportunities for a wider range of applications which in turn impose their own requirements on future fog computing platforms. This article presents a study of a representative set of 30 fog computing applications and the requirements that a general-purpose fog computing platform should support.
