Abstract

Fog Computing (FC) systems represent a novel and promising generation of computing systems aiming at moving storage and computation close to end-devices so as to reduce latency, bandwidth and energy-efficiency. Despite their gaining importance, the literature about capacity planning studies for FC systems is very limited only considering very simplified technological cases. This paper considers a model for the capacity planning of a FC system for smart monitoring applications. More specifically, this paper considers a FC-based rock collapse forecasting system based on a hybrid wired-wireless architecture deployed in the Swiss-Italian Alps. The system is composed by sensing units deployed on rock faces to gather environmental data and FC-units providing high-performance computing for smart monitoring purposes.
