With the Internet of Things (IoT) becoming part of our daily life and our environment, we expect rapid growth in the number of connected devices. IoT is expected to connect billions of devices and humans to bring promising advantages for us. With this growth, fog computing, along with its related edge computing paradigms, such as multi-access edge computing (MEC) and cloudlet, are seen as promising solutions for handling the large volume of securitycritical and time-sensitive data that is being produced by the IoT. In this paper, we first provide a tutorial on fog computing and its related computing paradigms, including their similarities and differences. Next, we provide a taxonomy of research topics in fog computing, and through a comprehensive survey, we summarize and categorize the efforts on fog computing and its related computing paradigms. Finally, we provide challenges and future directions for research in fog computing.

Simulating Fog and Edge Computing Scenarios: An Overview and Research Challenges

et al. 2019

The fourth industrial revolution heralds a paradigm shift in how people, processes, things, data and networks communicate and connect with each other. Conventional computing infrastructures are struggling to satisfy dramatic growth in demand from a deluge of connected heterogeneous end points located at the edge of networks while, at the same time, meeting quality of service levels. The complexity of computing at the edge makes it increasingly difficult for infrastructure providers to plan for and provision resources to meet this demand. While simulation frameworks are used extensively in the modelling of cloud computing environments in order to test and validate technical solutions, they are at a nascent stage of development and adoption for fog and edge computing. This paper provides an overview of challenges posed by fog and edge computing in relation to simulation.

eXP-RAN—An Emulator for Gaining Experience With Radio Access Networks, Edge Computing, and Slicing

Radio Access Networks (RAN), Edge Computing (EC), and Network Slicing are some of the critical components in 5G networks used to provide different transport services over the same infrastructure and to enable new features, e.g., low latency and context awareness. It is important to have tools for evaluating present and future applications over these components; however, there is a gap between theoretical work on resource allocation and its deployment in simulated, emulated, or real-world experiments. This paper addresses these issues through a new emulation software named eXP-RAN, which enables experimenting with network slicing in virtualized RAN nodes and EC scenarios. In this version, we have focused on the computing part of RANs. Experiments can be created manually or imported from an optimization model. We describe the software architecture and its advantages over traditional tools such as ns-3 and Mininet, as well as more recent tool targets to EC simulations such as EdgeCloudSim. We also illustrate how two use-cases, a virtual RAN (vRAN) / Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) orchestration and a network slicing for video service providers can be emulated and explored using eXP-RAN.
