This document discusses various computing paradigms such as fog computing, cloud computing, edge computing, mobile cloud computing, and fog-based computing. It provides an overview of fog computing, describing its layered architecture and comparing it to similar paradigms like cloud and edge computing. Some key points discussed include:
- Fog computing enhances cloud computing by extending services and resources to the network edge, supporting low-latency applications.
- It has a 3-layer architecture with end devices, fog nodes, and cloud layers, placing resources closer to end users than the cloud.
- Characteristics of fog computing include low latency, mobility support, location awareness, and decentralized storage and analytics.
