To satisfy the explosively increasing demands of high-speed data applications and massive access requirements of various mobile devices, a whole package of performance requirements has been proposed for the fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication system. In particular, 5G should be able to connect one million connections per square kilometer, and the system capacity will grow by a factor of 1000 compared to the fourth-generation (4G) system to deliver a consistent experience across a variety of scenarios.
Cloud Computing is a new paradigm in Information Technology (IT) and IT-enabled services (ITES) that transforms “computing as a resource” to “computing as a service”. However, since cloud computing is not enough to deal with the large amount of data generated by increasing number of connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and in order to better support time dependent, location dependent, massive scale, and latency sensitive applications, fog computing is proposed as a possible solution. According to its definition, fog computing is a horizontal, system-level architecture that distributes computing, storage, control and networking functions closer to the users along a cloud-to-thing continuum. Hence, fog computing can be regarded as an extension of the traditional cloud-based computing model, which allows computing need to be performed closer to the source of data.
This workshop provides a forum for discussions of the up-to-date developments in information-centric networking, fog computing, edge computing, edge caching for future networks, and brings academic researchers and industry developers together.
