Abstract

Fog computing offers an integrated key in support of communications, data gathering, device management, services capabilities, storage, and analysis at the edge of the network. This allows the deployment of centrally managed infrastructure in an extremely distributed environment. The present work discusses the most significant applications of fog computing for smart city infrastructure. In the smart city environment running a lot of IoT-based services, computing infrastructure becomes the most important concern. Thousands of smart objects, vehicles, mobiles, and people interact with each other to provide innovative services; here the fog computing infrastructure can be very useful from the perspective of data and communication. The chapter focuses on three main aspects: (a) deployment of data and software in fog nodes (b) fog-based data management and analytics, and (c) 5G communication using the fog infrastructure. Working models in all the perspectives have been presented to illustrate these fog computing applications. Use-cases have been added from the successful implementations of smart city infrastructure. Further, the challenges and opportunities have been presented from the perspective of growing interest in smart cities.
