Fog Computing for Smart Cities

Most of the rural areas keep declining and smart cities keep evolving in its own phase. Data is one of the most important resources to maintain as terabytes of data is collected from a single city. Data is analyzed using big data analysis and it can be stored by using the fog computing and it also describes how fog computing is effective in IoT when compared to cloud-based computing and how fog-based computing is introducing its innovative applications. The research work describes cloud and fog architecture and furthermore we will learn about a new experimental architecture. It is the combination of both fog based and cloud-based technologies. Fog computing is a technology that is rapidly influencing the emerging digital technologies and applications. There are many challenges in maintaining the data through fog computing technologies, these challenges are mentioned along with their security concerns that help for the transition from cloud to fog. This paper mainly tells us how fog computing would emerge as the future of IoT and how it would change the quality of life at an unprecedented rate.
