FogFlow - Computation Organization for Heterogeneous Fog Computing Environments

摘要

With the arising amounts of devices and data that Internet of Things systems are processing nowadays, solutions for computational applications are in high demand. Many concepts targeting more efficient data processing are arising and among them edge and fog computing are the ones gaining significant interest since they reduce cloud load. In consequence Internet of Things systems are becoming more and more diverse in terms of architecture. In this paper we present FogFlow -model and execution environment allowing for organization of data-flow applications to be run on the heterogeneous environments. We propose unified interface for data-flow creation, graph model and we evaluate our concept in the use case of production line model that mimic real-world factory scenario.
