Recently the concept and vision of Fog Computing to enable applications on billions of devices that already connected and form the Internet of Things (IoT) was introduced to run directly at the edge of network. With the vision that fog computing paradigm will be the future of the computing technology, we look at its characteristics and propose a novel approach to enable a new kind of service, that is Offload As A Service or OaaS. Offload computation has been an active research area for many years. It is exciting technology, in which it provides capability to extend mobile resources over their limitation in term of CPU, storage and battery energy. Fog computing paradigm has clear synergy with offload computation technology because of its low delay and close proximity features. To realize the enabling of OaaS in fog computing environment, we propose a novel approach to solve many challenging problems. Our framework comprises a testbed that represents a small scale fog network, a set of applications for communication and offloading mechanism between different layers of fog architecture, and a matching algorithm to handle the fair mapping between user and service providers. The result of our work shows great potential and value. 1.
