Fog Computing in Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of Things envisions a talk able platform for heterogenous devices. It implies
devices with heterogenous capabilities are communicating over a common platform. Many
supporting technologies exist to complement this idea. One such technology is Fog Computing.
Fog Computing indicates that there is a horizontal platform that sits between devices and the
Central Cloud. This intermediary layer enhances system performance and provides immediate
response to the connected modes for transactional operations, thereby reducing the network traffic
that is routed towards the Cloud. This paper provides an overview of Fog Computing in Internet
of Things.
