Abstract

In contemporary computing paradigms, the evolution from cloud computing to fog computing and the recent emergence of federated-fog computing have introduced new challenges pertaining to semantic interoperability, particularly in the context of real-time applications. Fog computing, by shifting computational processes closer to the network edge at the local area network level, aims to mitigate latency and enhance efficiency by minimising data transfers to the cloud. Building upon this, federated-fog computing extends the paradigm by distributing computing resources across diverse organisations and locations, while maintaining centralised management and control. This research article addresses the inherent problematics in achieving semantic interoperability within the evolving architectures of cloud computing, fog computing, and federated-fog computing. Experimental investigations are conducted on a diverse node-based testbed, simulating various enduser devices, to emphasise the critical role of semantic interoperability in facilitating seamless data exchange and integration. Furthermore, the efficacy of federated-fog computing is rigorously evaluated in comparison to traditional fog and cloud computing frameworks. Specifically, the assessment focuses on critical factors such as latency time and computational resource utilisation while processing real-time data streams generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The findings of this study underscore the advantages of federated-fog computing over conventional cloud and fog computing paradigms, particularly in the realm of real-time IoT applications demanding high performance (lowering CPU usage to 20%) and low latency (with picks up to 300ms). The research contributes valuable insights into the optimisation of processing architectures for contemporary computing paradigms, offering implications for the advancement of semantic interoperability in the context of emerging federated-fog computing for IoT applications.
