Fog: A new architecture for network distributed computation, communication, control and storage

Speaker: Mung Chiang, Princeton University

Talk Title: Fog: A new architecture for network distributed computation, communication, control and storage

Abstract: Fog architecture distributes computation, communication, control and storage closer to end users along the cloud-to-things continuum, promising the potential benefits in cognition, efficiency, agility and latency, and possibly enabling applications in 5G, IoT and big data. This talk overviews the opportunities and challenges in this research area and discusses the emergent industry momentum in fog.


Biography: Mung Chiang is the Arthur LeGrand Doty Professor of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University. His research on networking received the 2013 Alan T. Waterman Award, the highest honor to US young scientists and engineers. His textbook "Networks: Friends, Money and Bytes" and online course reached 250,000 students since 2012. He founded the Princeton EDGE Lab in 2009, which bridges the theory-practice gap in edge networking research by spanning from proofs to prototypes. He co-founded a few startups in mobile, IoT and big data areas and co-founded the Open Fog Consortium. Chiang is the Director of Keller Center for Innovations in Engineering Education at Princeton University and the inaugural Chairman of Princeton Entrepreneurship Council.
