The fog cloud of things: A survey on concepts, architecture, standards, tools, and applications

The Fog computing paradigms are becoming popular means of utilizing resources optimally by the IoT devices, extending quality of service to the vicinity of the user, and achieve fast processing in the IoT-cloud ecosystems. Fog models allow fast processing of data, easy to reach storage, and reduce bulky network transition. The inefficiencies of the cloud inspire unnecessarily big data to be sent to the backhaul of the network, which incapacitates the cloud infrastructure. Fog computing addresses the limitation of the cloud systems by improving robustness, efficiency, and performance of cloud infrastructure. The need to process some of the big data produced at the peripheral of the network using keen techniques in the fog—cloud ecosystems is a key to new interesting…
