SDG-oriented cloud-fog-edge-blockchain model for sustainable development
Prajawal Paul, Shalu Shalu · 2024
The convergence of Cloud computing, Fog computing, Edge computing, and Blockchain innovations possesses the inherent capacity to fundamentally transform the methodologies employed by diverse industries in the governance and harnessing of data resources. This amalgamation, when executed adeptly, stands poised to engender a paradigm shift in advancing the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By furnishing a decentralized and fortified framework for data administration and strategic determinations, the integration of these cutting-edge technologies bears the promise of propelling SDGs towards fulfillment. This scholarly discourse proffers a novel architectural construct, one that seamlessly amalgamates Cloud computing, Fog computing, Edge computing, and Blockchain technologies, to proffer a sustainable and extensible resolution for the governance of SDGs. The conceptualized framework seeks to elevate the realm of data stewardship and decision formulation by provisioning a secure, extensible, and decentralized milieu, tailored for the warehousing, processing, and scrutiny of data repositories. Meticulously engineered to accommodate voluminous data influxes, the framework concurrently empowers decision-molders with real-time insights while ensuring the sanctity and confidentiality of the amassed data reservoirs. The empirical findings underscore the profound potential encapsulated within the proposed architectural schema, portending a substantive enhancement in the efficacy and potency governing the domain of SDG administration.
