Fog Machine: A Fault-Tolerant System and Programming Framework for Cloud of Moving Things

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Cloud computing and mobile computing have been two dominant drivers of computing trends in the last few years. One of the challenges of using cloud computing to power mobile applications is the significant network distance between the server resources and the clients and the consequent problems in delivering guaranteed qualities of services. To address these problems “edge” computing paradigms such as fogs that bring clouds closer to the clients have been proposed. With the impending boom of Internet of Things such as connected cars and smart homes, edge computing is poised to play a larger role in any computing infrastructure of the future. The three-layered distributed computing architecture formed by such a cloud-fog-device system introduces many new challenges. Chief among them is the programmability of the system.
