Demystifying the use of Machine Learning in Fog Computing

Abstract

The concept of cloud computing was a major milestone in technology development and brought along a lot of new concepts and ideas. However, cloud computing also introduced certain challenges and problems like an increase in computation cost, high latency, etc. To counter these issues, the notion of fog computing came along. It presented a new decentralized architecture and the idea of a fog layer. Even though fog computing solves the shortcomings of cloud computing, it harbors its own challenges. We have discussed the employment of ML for overcoming the limitations of Fog-based networks.
