摘要
The field of edge and fog computing is growing, but there are still many inconsistent and loosely-defined terms in current literature. With many articles comparing theoretical architectures and evaluating implementations, there is a need to understand the underlying meaning of information condensed into fog, edge, and similar terms. Through our review of current literature, we discuss these differences and extract key characteristics for basic concepts that appear throughout. The similarities to existing IaaS, PaaS and SaaS models are presented, contrasted against similar models modified for the specifics of edge devices and workloads. We also evaluate the different aspects existing evaluation and comparison works investigate, including the compute, networking, storage, security, and ease-of-use capabilities of the target implementations. Following that, we make a broad overview of currently available commercial and open-source platforms implementing the edge or fog paradigms, identifying key players, successful niche actors and general trends for feature-level and technical development of these platforms.
