A review on fog computing: Issues, characteristics, challenges, and potential applications

Fog computing is a paradigm that utilizes the advantages of both the cloud and the edge devices providing quality services, reducing latency, providing mobility support, multi-tenancy, and many other functions that support modern computing systems. It is sometimes referred to as fog networking or fogging. This paper reviews and discusses cloud computing, briefly highlighting the implemented paradigms before fog computing. These paradigms include cloud, mobile cloud computing, and mobile edge computing. All the paradigms targeted improving the quality of service between the end devices and the cloud itself. A fog computing Taxonomy is presented based on contemporary fog computing research about security…
