Abstract

Fog computing is a conceptual extension of cloud computing. This paper firstly compares the differences and connections between cloud computing and fog computing. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the top journals and conferences related to fog computing in the past five years and 876 articles on WoS search were conducted. Finally, based on the basic structure of fog calculation, the current research status and challenges are also provided.
