Mimicking FogDirector application management

摘要

CISCO FogDirector is one of the first available tools supporting the management of the entire life cycle of applications deployed to Fog infrastructures. In this paper, we present a simple operational semantics of the main features of FogDirector, which provides a compact reference for the tool. We then introduce a prototype, based on such semantics, that can constitute the core of a simulation environment of FogDirector application management. The usefulness of the prototype is illustrated over a motivating example.
