Essentiality of Managing the Resource Information in the Coordinated Fog-to-Cloud Paradigm

Fog-to-Cloud (F2C) computing is an emerging computational
platform. By combing the cloud, fog, and IoT, it provides an
excellent framework for managing and coordinating the resources
in any smart computing domain. Efficient management
of these kinds of diverse resources is one of the critical
tasks in the F2C system. Also, it must be considered that different
types of services are offered by any smart system. So,
before managing these resources and enabling the various
types of services, it is essential to have some comprehensive
informational catalogue of resources and services. Hence,
after identifying the resource and service-task taxonomy,
our main aim in this paper is finding out a solution for properly
organizing this information over the F2C system. For
that purpose, we are proposing a modified F2C framework
where all the information is distributively stored near to the
edge of the network. Finally, by presenting some experimental
results, we evaluate and validate the performance of our
proposing framework.
