Vasiliki Giannou, Basilis Mamalis · 2021
Fog computing is a new kind of computation type in modern years, which allocates part of the compulsion of cloud computing storage, estimation and processing, closer to the network edge. The impact of Cloud and Fog Computing on collaboration in an educational context, is now more than ever of high importance [1]. In the present study, a special focus is given on the innovative designed services of fog computing techniques in the educational field. The first objective of the study is to develop a systematic literature review on fog computing in the fields of education so that it becomes easy to analyze the architecture. The second objective of the paper is to propose a suitable fog-based architecture for supporting education in Primary and Secondary Education as well as providing proper recommendations and presentation of some indicative training scenarios that are applied based on the use of cloud and fog computing. The proposed architecture is properly documented whereas specific implementation issues are also presented and analyzed.
