Fog Computing in the Internet of Things

This book describes state-of-the-art approaches to Fog Computing, including the background of innovations achieved in recent years. Coverage includes various aspects of fog computing architectures for Internet of Things, driving reasons, variations and case studies. The authors discuss in detail key topics, such as meeting low latency and real-time requirements of applications, interoperability, federation and heterogeneous computing, energy efficiency and mobility, fog and cloud interplay, geo-distribution and location awareness, and case studies in healthcare and smart space applications.

Provides a single-source reference to the state of the art in Fog Computing Enables readers to understand what fog computing is and the use cases that drive towards it, plus the benefits of using fog computing in Internet of Things Describes internal architecture and organization of services in fog computing
