Enhanced layered fog architecture for IoT sensing and actuation as a service

Abstract The reduced service cost offered by Sensing and Actuation as a Service paradigm, particularly in Internet of Things (IoT) era, has encouraged many establishments to start without worrying about having their own infrastructure. Such a paradigm is typically managed by a centralized cloud serv...

Enhanced layered fog architecture for IoT sensing and actuation as a service
description Abstract The reduced service cost offered by Sensing and Actuation as a Service paradigm, particularly in Internet of Things (IoT) era, has encouraged many establishments to start without worrying about having their own infrastructure.
