International Journal of Computer Applications (0975 – 8887) Volume 164 – No 6, April 2017 10 Application of Fog Computing in Military Operations Divya Lanka Assistant Professor, CSE Vishnu Institute of Technology Bhimavaram Ch. Lakshmi Veenadhari Assistant Professor, CSE Vishnu Institute of Technology Bhimavaram D. Suryanarayana Professor, CSE Vishnu Institute of Technology Bhimavaram ABSTRACT This paper clearly explains about the integration of fog computing in cloud environment to implement in military operation based applications. It explains the working model with fog computing. This approach is purely an outcome of the advantages of fog computing over the breaches with cloud computing. Thus, this will be a solution in most of the applications by including this technology in wireless sensor networks. This architecture was developed for providing high end secure applications. This approach has been applied to overcome the vulnerabilities in the real time applications using wireless sensor networks. This approach is performed in military applications to take spontaneous decision making by the military officials. Therefore this paper presents the reliable model in many smart wireless sensor networks. General Terms Edge Computing, Internet of Things, Pervasive Computing. Keywords Fog Computing, Cloud Computing, Military Applications, Smart Wireless Sensor Networks. 1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the work is to enhance the usage of fog computing as internet of things is playing a major role in every one’s day to day life. From a farmer to a business man internet is a vital essential and most of the things relay on the internet. Wireless sensor network can be used in military environment to safeguard the motherlands to decrease the valuable deaths of the soldiers. In view of the fact that when using classical cloud computing in such scenarios, the limitations like response time, computational latency and data dissemination time may not be apt for such timely conditions. So, to take decisions fast to decrease response time and latency cloud can be replaced by fog computing providing more security because of sensitive data. The significance of this study is to highlight the features of fog computing which is a subset of the cloud. The interconnections between fog nodes and clouds are shown in the Figure1. Fig 1: Design of Fog and Cloud Computing Traditionally, the usage of Internet is very less and the amount of data is also limited because of the high cost of the internet, bandwidth and the resources. Later due to the fall in the cost of internet charges and development of wide variety of devices, new technologies, world widely the manual work is replaced by automotive work by the help of computers and other devices. All the information is stored in the cloud and applications run on the cloud to give the result to the end users. Not restricted to particular area, the usage of internet is out of bounds at present due to immense raise in wide variety of mobile and smart devices. Internet plays a major role in our day to day activities. With the miniature devices and convenience dependency on the internet is increasing along with that, load on the internet servers is also increasing which led to the evolution of fog computing. The information is stored in the fog locally and many applications run on the fog to give the result to the edge devices as shown in Figure 2. This is also reserved as EDGE Computing. The data is maintained centrally at remote servers, managed, and backed up. Cloud allows the users to store files online, so that they can access them from any location through the Internet. Hoang T. Dinh et.al, proposed a survey on mobile cloud computing applications and architecture [1]. Fig 2: Fog and Cloud nodes in IOT 2. DISSIMILARITIES BETWEEN CLOUD COMPUTING AND FOG COMPUTING The major variation between cloud computing and fog computing is how close the services are to the end users that is geographic spatial separation [2]. CISCO proposed fog computing to run multiple applications directly on billions of heterogeneous connected devices at the edges of network Fog Cloud Internet of Things Fog Fog Cloud
