A survey on Fog Computing and its research challenges

Abstract

This paper reviews the new paradigm of distributed computing, which is Fog Computing, and it presents its concept, characteristics and areas of performance. It performs a literature review on the problem of its implementation and analyses its research challenges such as: security issues; operational issues and their standardisation. We show and discuss that many questions need to be researched in academia so that their implementation will become a reality, but it became clear that their adherence is inevitable for the internet of the future.
