The recent age of cloud computing (CC) has witnessed significant breakthroughs, notably in IoT (Internet of Things), Edge computing, Fog computing, 5G, and subsequently 6G technology. CC allows individuals and businesses to store, process, and manage their data via cloud-enabled systems to facilitate scalability, adaptability, and interconnectivity. The appropriate implementation of numerous cloud computing models aids firms in digital transformation and development with maximum productivity. However, CC integration with IoT allows an extraordinary capability and boosts economies’ ability to develop at a fast pace. Meanwhile, due to the rapid expansion of IoT, the current cloud network cannot keep abreast of the growing data loads and processing extremities, particularly in real-time. Even the most cutting-edge cloud providers are experiencing an inordinate strain as a result of the growing number of consumer and corporate devices connected to the IoT. While it has a centralized design, it lacks bandwidth and has downtime issues. High latency, lack of location awareness, outage concerns, etc., are among the issues that cloud services for IoT confront. Furthermore, due to uninterrupted operating states, the massive volume of data created by the IoT is increasing enormously. IoT devices are creating a flood of data, disrupting predictable data processing and analytics capabilities well managed by the cloud. As a result, securing this ocean of data has become an elite concern for researchers and cyber experts, as organizations jeopardize their reputation and users’ privacy and security. Fog computing (FC) technology has been used, which analyses and acts on the data by bringing the cloud close to the commodities, ultimately reducing the response time. This paper aims to explore various other challenges and issues of incorporating FC into analyzing IoT data.

An ever-increasing number of different types of objects are connecting to the Internet, and this phenomenon is called the Internet of Things(IoT). Processing the IoT generated data by Cloud Computing causes high latency. Fog Computing is a new motivation for resolving the latency issue, which is a hosting environment between the IoT and the Cloud layers. IoT applications are faced with three significant challenges: big data, device heterogeneity, and Fog resiliency. With the motivation of resolving the challenges, this proposal introduces a Microservice software framework for implementing automatic functions in the IoT-Fog-Cloud ecosystem. The proposed Microservice framework will also enable the development of IoT-based context-aware intelligent decision-making systems. We describe the functionality and contribution of each automatic function in the paper.

Cloud computing plays a vital role in processing a large amount of data. However, with the arrival of the Internet of Things, huge data are generated from these devices. Thus, there is the need for bringing characteristics of cloud closer to the request generator, so that processing of these huge data takes place at one-hop distance closer to that end user. This led to the emergence of fog computing with the aim to provide storage and computation at the edge of the network that reduces network traffic and overcomes many cloud computing drawbacks. Fog computing technology helps to overcome challenges of big data processing. The paper discusses the taxonomy of fog computing, how this is different from cloud computing and edge computing technologies, its applications, emerging key technologies (i.e., communication technologies and storage technologies) and various challenges involved in fog technology.
Chapter
The rapid growth of new technologies in power systems requires real-time monitoring and control of bidirectional data communication and electric power flow. Cloud computing has centralized architecture and is not scalable towards the emerging internet of things (IoT) landscape of the grid. Further, under large-scale integration of renewables, this framework could be bogged down by congestion, latency, and subsequently poor quality of service (QoS). This calls for a distributed architecture called fog computing, which imbibes both clouds as well as the end-devices to collect, process, and act upon the data locally at the edge for low latency applications prior to forwarding them to the cloud for more complex operations. Fog computing offers high performance and interoperability, better scalability and visibility, and greater availability in comparison to a grid relying only on the cloud. In this chapter, a prospective research roadmap, future challenges, and opportunities to apply fog computing on smart grid systems is presented.
