An IoT Management System Using Fog Computing

During the past few years, the usage of network-enabled devices has been climbing rapidly. With the continuous evolution of industrial automation and fabrication, new demands have arisen such as constantly monitoring the state of the devices or being able to immediately intervene in any possible emergencies. In this paper, an IoT device management system using the fog computing paradigm is presented. The system has also been supported by mobile and web applications. There are four main components of this system; edge devices to receive or send data through the local area network, a local fog node to provide data transmission between the cloud server and edge devices as well as storing data, a cloud server to establish the communication between a distant user and local fog nodes, a mobile device that can go online when required to access the mobile application or a computer that can go online when required to access the web application.
