Safety Features

VANET, a type of MANET, connects vehicles to provide safety and non-safety features to the drivers and passengers by exchanging valuable data. As vehicles on road are increasing to handle such data cloud computing, functionality is merged with vehicles known as Vehicular Cloud Computing(VCC) to serve VANET with computation, storage, and networking functionalities. But Cloud, a centralized server, does not fit well for vehicles needing high-speed processing, low latency, and more security. To overcome these limitations of Cloud, Fog computing was evolved, extending the functionality of cloud computing model to the edge of the network. This works well for real time applications that need fast response, saves network bandwidth, and is a reliable, secure solution. An application of Fog is with vehicles known as Vehicular Fog Computing (VFC). This chapter discusses cloud computing technique and its benefits and drawbacks, detailed comparison between VCC and VFC, applications of Fog Computing, its security, and forensic challenges.

This article describes how the rise of fog computing to improve cloud computing performance and the acceptance of smart devices is slowly but surely changing our future and shaping the computing environment around us. IoT integrated with advances in low cost computing, storage and power, along with high speed networks and big data, supports distributed computing. However, much like cloud computing, which are under constant security attacks and issues, distributed computing also faces similar challenges and security threats. This can be mitigated to a great extent using fog computing, which extends the limits of Cloud services to the last mile edge near to the nodes and networks, thereby increasing the performance and security levels. Fog computing also helps increase the reach and comes across as a viable solution for distributed computing. This article presents a review of the academic literature research work on the Fog Computing. The authors discuss the challenges in Fog environment and propose a new taxonomy.

Fog computing is an extension of cloud computing, and it is one of the most important architypes in the current world. Fog computing is like cloud computing as it provides data storage, computation, processing, and application services to end-users. In this chapter, the authors discuss the security and privacy issues concerned with fog computing. The issues present in cloud are also inherited by fog computing, but the same methods available for cloud computing are not applicable to fog computing due to its decentralized nature. The authors also discuss a few real-time applications like healthcare systems, intelligent food traceability, surveillance video stream processing, collection, and pre-processing of speech data. Finally, the concept of decoy technique and intrusion detection and prevention technique is covered.

The Internet Of Things

The internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing are two technologies which have recently changed both the academia and industry and impacted our daily lives in different ways. However, despite their impact, both technologies have their shortcomings. Though being cheap and convenient, cloud services consume a huge amount of network bandwidth. Furthermore, the physical distance between data source(s) and the data centre makes delays a frequent problem in cloud computing infrastructures. Fog computing has been proposed as a distributed service computing model that provides a solution to these limitations. It is based on a para-virtualized architecture that fully utilizes the computing functions of terminal devices and the advantages of local proximity processing. This paper proposes a multi-layer IoT-based fog computing model called IoT-FCM, which uses a genetic algorithm for resource allocation between the terminal layer and fog layer and a multi-sink version of the least interference beaconing protocol (LIBP) called least interference multi-sink protocol (LIMP) to enhance the fault-tolerance/robustness and reduce energy consumption of a terminal layer. Simulation results show that compared to the popular max–min and fog-oriented max–min, IoT-FCM performs better by reducing the distance between terminals and fog nodes by at least 38% and reducing energy consumed by an average of 150 KWh while being at par with the other algorithms in terms of delay for high number of tasks.

Huge Impact

Using big data to promote economic development, improve social governance, and improve service and regulatory capabilities is becoming a trend. However, the current cloud computing for data processing has been difficult to meet the demand, and the server pressure has increased dramatically, so people pay special attention to the big data integration of fog computing. In order to make the application of big data meet people’s needs, we have established relevant mathematical models based on fog calculation, made system big data integration, collected relevant data, designed experiments, and obtained relevant research data by reviewing relevant literature and interviewing professionals. The research shows that big data integration using fog computing modeling has the characteristics of fast response and stable function. Compared with cloud computing and previous computer algorithms, big data integration has obvious advantages, and the computing speed is nearly 20% faster than cloud computing and about 35% higher than other computing methods. This shows that big data integration built by fog computing can have a huge impact on people’s lives.

Processing Power

The traditional data processing of the Internet of Things is concentrated in cloud computing, and its huge number of devices and massive real-time data transmission are extremely stressful on network bandwidth and cloud computing data centers. Fog computing is the infrastructure that can use processing power anywhere in the cloud. Virtual computing extends the power of cloud computing to the edge of the network, enabling any computing device to host and process software services, analyzing and storing data closer to where data are generated. The architecture of the fog computing brings enormous processing power. Since its processing power is often located near the required equipment, the distance of data transmission is reduced and the delay is reduced. This article explores how to use the fog computing layer between the cloud data center and the end node layer to store and process large amounts of local data in a timely manner, speeding decision making and enabling Internet of Things manufacturers and software developers to limit their ability to send data. They reduced cloud computing costs and built a reasonable security architecture.

Simulation Results

Background: The abundant use of personal vehicles has raised the challenge of parking the vehicle in a crowded place such as shopping malls. To help the driver with efficient and trouble-free parking, a smart and innovative parking assistance system is required. In addition to discussing the basics of smart parking, Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud computing, and Fog computing, this chapter proposes an IoT-based smart parking system for shopping malls. Methods: To process the IoT data, a hybrid Fog architecture is adopted, to reduce the latency, where the Fog nodes are connected across the hierarchy. The advantages of this auxiliary connection are discussed critically by comparing with other Fog architectures (hierarchical and P2P). An algorithm is defined to support the proposed architecture and is implemented on two real-world use-cases having requirements of identifying the nearest free car parking slot. The implementation is simulated for a single mall scenario as well as for a campus with multiple malls with parking areas spread across them. Results: The simulation results have proved that our proposed architecture shows lower latency as compared to the traditional smart parking systems that use Cloud architecture. Conclusion: The hybrid Fog architecture minimizes communication latency significantly. Hence, the proposed architecture can be suitably applied for other IoT-based real-time applications.

Cloud Users

The cloud-users are getting impatient by experiencing the delays in loading the content of the web applications over the internet, which is usually caused by the complex latency while accessing the cloud datacenters distant from the cloud-users. It is becoming a catastrophic situation in availing the services and applications over the cloud-centric network. In cloud, workload is distributed across the multiple layers which also increases the latency. Time-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications and services, usually in a cloud platform, are running over various virtual machines (VM’s) and possess high complexities while interacting. They face difficulties in the consolidations of the various applications containing heterogenetic workloads. Fog computing takes the cloud computing services to the edge-network, where computation, communication and storage are within the proximity to the end-user’s edge devices. Thus, it utilizes the maximum network bandwidth, enriches the mobility, and lowers the latency. It is a futuristic, convenient and more reliable platform to overcome the cloud computing issues. In this manuscript, we propose a Fog-based Spider Web Algorithm (FSWA), a heuristic approach which reduces the delays time (DT) and enhances the response time (RT) during the workflow among the various edge nodes across the fog network. The main purpose is to trace and locate the nearest f-node for computation and to reduce the latency across the various nodes in a network. Reduction of latency will enhance the quality of service (QoS) parameters, smooth resource distribution, and services availability. Latency can be an important factor for resource optimization issues in distributed computing environments. In comparison to the cloud computing, the latency in fog computing is much improved.

Edge And Fog Computing

Cloud computing is the transformation, which involves storing large applications where data or information is exchanged among differ-ent platforms for giving good service to clients who belong to different organizations. It assures great use of resources by making data, software and infrastructure available with minimal cost along with security and reliability. Even though cloud computing gives many advantages, it has certain limitations like network congestion, fault tolerance, less bandwidth etc. To come out of this issue a new era computing model is introduced called Fog Computing. This new computing model can transfer fragile data without any delay to other devices in the network. The only difference between both is fog is located more close to the end user or the device and gives response to the client instantly. Moreover, it is beneficial to the real time streaming applications, internet of things which need reliable internet con-nectivity along with high speed. This paper is a review on Fog Computing, differences in edge and fog computing, use cases of fog and the architecture.
