Abstract
In recent years, the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices/sensors has increased to a great extent. To support the computational demand of real-time latency-sensitive applications of largely geo-distributed IoT devices/sensors, a new computing paradigm named "Fog computing" has been introduced. Generally, Fog computing resides closer to the IoT devices/sensors and extends the Cloud-based computing, storage and networking facilities. In this chapter, we comprehensively analyse the challenges in Fogs acting as an intermediate layer between IoT devices/ sensors and Cloud datacentres and review the current developments in this field. We present a taxonomy of Fog computing according to the identified challenges and its key features.We also map the existing works to the taxonomy in order to identify current research gaps in the area of Fog computing. Moreover, based on the observations, we propose future directions for research.

Revenue sharing in edge-cloud systems: A Game-theoretic perspective

TL;DR: A game-theoretic framework is introduced to model the competition among the service providers as a non-cooperative game and shows the existence of Nash equilibrium in the game theoretically and experimentally, finding that at Nash equilibria, the revenue sharing design results in significantly worse system-level performance than revenue sharing mechanisms based on marginal contributions.
