Cloud Computing to Fog Computing: A Paradigm Shift

Abstract

Fog computing scatters the resources throughout the system to provide services close to the edge of the network. This chapter provides an overview of different segments associated with the fog computing paradigm for implementing efficient Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Section 1 provides an overview and motivation behind the provision of healthcare services using cloud and fog computing paradigms. Section 2 provides the literature and research work related to the deployment of healthcare applications using cloud and fog computing architectures. Section 3 provides the architectural design of a fog computing-based remote pain monitoring application. Section 4 provides the simulation parameters and architecture that are arranged for the evaluation of the proposed policy. Finally, Section 5 concludes and discusses the results of simulations obtained on different scales.
