SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENTLY AND SECURELY MANAGING A NETWORK USING FOG COMPUTING

摘要

A system and computer-implemented method for managing a smart devices network using fog computing is provided. The system comprises an application manager configured to receive service requests from devices in a smart devices network and collect data related to fog computing nodes and intermediate computing nodes and a resource utilization predictor configured to predict availability of the fog computing nodes and the intermediate computing nodes. Furthermore, the system comprises a resource manager configured to dynamically allocate at least one of: a specific fog computing node and a specific intermediate computing node, schedule triggering of fog applications based on the predicted availability, trigger, at the specific fog computing node and the specific intermediate computing node, the fog applications for executing the received service requests corresponding to the devices and perform actions corresponding to the executed one or more service requests.
