Abstract
In the last few years, Internet of Things, Cloud computing, Edge computing, and Fog computing have gained a lot of attention in both industry and academia. However, a clear and neat definition of these computing paradigms and their correlation is hard to find in the literature. This makes it difficult for researchers new to this area to get a concrete picture of these paradigms. This work tackles this deficiency, representing a helpful resource for those who will start next. First, we show the evolution of modern computing paradigms and related research interest. Then, we address each paradigm, neatly delineating its key points and its relation with the others. Thereafter, we extensively address Fog computing, remarking its outstanding role as the glue between IoT, Cloud, and Edge computing. In the end, we briefly present open challenges and future research directions for IoT, Cloud, Edge, and Fog computing.
Highlights
In the last decade, we have witnessed a significant evolution of computing paradigms
Roadmap and statistics related to computing paradigms: we provide an analysis of research trends related to the main modern computing paradigms: IoT, Cloud computing, Edge computing, and Fog computing
THE ROADMAP FOR COMPUTING PARADIGMS we present a roadmap that drives us through first appearance and research trends related to the main topics addressed in this paper: IoT, Cloud computing, Edge computing, and Fog computing
Summary
We have witnessed a significant evolution of computing paradigms. We aim at answering all these questions by providing an analysis of the foundations and evolution of major modern computing paradigms, namely Cloud computing, IoT, Edge computing, and Fog computing. The focus of the paper is not to propose yet another survey about a single computing paradigm, but to highlight the foundational differences between all these paradigms and how they relate to each other in terms of evolution of the computing paradigm With this aim in mind, terms like Mobile Cloud Computing, Cloudlet Computing, and Mobile Edge Computing will be framed.
