Fog computing aims at providing horizontal, system-level, abstractions to distribute computing, storage, control and networking functions closer to the user along a cloud-to-thing continuum. Whilst fog computing is increasingly recognised as the key paradigm at the foundation of Consumer and Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), most of the initiatives on fog computing focus on extending cloud infrastructure. As a consequence, these infrastructure fall short in addressing heterogeneity and resource constraints characteristics of fog computing environments.

fog⌀5 (read as fog O-five or fog OS) is an Eclipse IoT Project that is building a fog computing infrastructure from first principle. In other terms, fog⌀5 has been designed to address the challenges induced by fog computing in terms of heterogeneity, decentralisation, resource constraints, geographical scale and security.

This webcast will introduce fog⌀5, motivate its architecture and building blocks as well as provide a demonstration of fog⌀5 provisioning applications that span from the cloud to the things.
