Abstract

To bridge the gap between existing cloud-based ICT architectures and large-scale Internet of Things (IoT) deployment, fog and edge computing (FEC) is becoming promising and anticipating paradigm to facilitate computing and communication for the next generation cyber-physical infrastructures. The key features of fog and edge computing include low latency, locality, scalability, security and privacy. Those features form a solid foundation to meet the service requirements of smart cyber-physical systems. However, although there are stand-alone, solutions exist already in this domain; many aspects are still unexplored yet in practical context also. In addition, we lack a coherent edge computing architecture that embeds these principles and can effectively enhance our cyber-physical infrastructures. In this research paper, we investigate how to enhance many expected features such as self-adaptiveness and resilience in cyber-physical systems in 5G era and IoT deployment. The focus is on fog and edge computing, which encompasses computing, communication, data analytics, security and privacy.
