Recent deployment in the internet to support Internet of Things (IoT) includes cloud computing and fog computing. In this talk, a high-level overview of the basic infrastructure and platform for cloud computing is first presented, development status as well as challenges will be reviewed. We then go over Fog Computing, highlight key differences between cloud computing and fog computing, discuss under which condition one is preferred than the other.  Cloud computing is the technology of stocking and accessing data, applications and programs over an internet network instead of a local/home storage such as a computer’s hard disk and uses networks of shared IT architecture containing large pools of systems and servers. Fog computing, also known as fogging, is a disseminated computing infrastructure in which application and its services are handled either at the network edge or in a remote data center- cloud. Fog computing improves efficiency and trim the amount of data that requires to be transmitted for processing, analysis and storage by placing the data close to the end user. Standard activities of the fog computing will also be discussed.
