Fog Computing Technology in Distributed Systems

Abstract

Topicality. The concept of fog computing is an evolutionary stage in the development of the cloud concept. It occupies a leading position among the general trends in the development of information technology. The emergence of this concept is closely related to the origin and development of the concept of the Internet of Things. The results. The subject area was analyzed. It includes an analysis of current trends in the field of organizing distributed computing, an analysis of the use of population algorithms and ontology models for solving optimization problems in distributed systems, an analysis of models, methods and algorithms for solving the problem of transferring the computational load in distributed systems implemented on the basis of fog computing. Conclusion. It has been revealed that the concept of fog computing makes it possible to solve most of the problems associated with the load on the communication infrastructure and the latency of information exchange. But they do not resolve issues related to the high dynamism of the foggy environment and the concomitant decrease in the efficiency of the distributed system.
