Fog Computing

Fog Computing News, Trends, Insights & Applications

Fog computing offers the benefit of cloud computing with increased efficiency. Because fog computing keeps data closer to the source, this type of technology is ideal for optimizing real-time data processing. Developers continue to explore many useful applications of this technology within the IoT infrastructure, including use in the development of smart cities.

OpenFog Consortium

IEEE ComSoc has announced its strategic affiliation with the OpenFog Consortium, a public-private ecosystem formed to accelerate the adoption of fog computing in order to solve the bandwidth, latency and communications challenges associated with the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, the Tactile Internet and other advanced concepts in the digitized world. IEEE ComSoc and OpenFog will co-create and co-promote fog networking concepts and architectures and collaborate on marketing, education and standards initiatives. Visit the OpenFog Consortium to learn more about its work in fog computing.

IEEE International Workshop on Computer Aided Modeling and Design of Communication Links and Networks 2024

IEEE CAMAD 2024 - IEEE International Workshop on Computer Aided Modeling and Design of Communication Links and Networks - The International Workshop on Computer-Aided Modeling Analysis and Design of Communication Links and Networks (CAMAD) provides a forum for discussion of recent developments on analytical and simulation tools and techniques for the performance evaluation of communications systems. It was launched in 1986, being held every 2 years until 2006, often in cooperation with flagship IEEE Communication Society conferences (Int. Conference on Communications – ICC, Global Telecommunication Conference – GLOBECOM). Since 2006, the workshop has been held once every year motivated by the ever-increasing interest in this hot research and development field with last venues organized in Trento (CAMAD‘06) and Pisa (CAMAD‘09) as a stand-alone event, in conjunction with IEEE PIMRC 2007 in Athens, Greece (CAMAD‘07) and co-located with the ICC 2008 in Beijing, China. Since 2009, CAMAD is an IEEE Communications Society portfolio event and hosts Workshops and Special Sessions, bringing together a diverse group of scientists, engineers, manufacturers and providers to exchange and share their experiences. In addition, the conference will also include keynote speeches, panel and demo sessions. IEEE CAMAD 2024 will be held 21–23 October in Athens, Greece.
