An Fog Computing extends the Cloud Computing paradigm to emerging wave of Internet deployments, most notably the the edge of the network, thus enabling a new breed of ap- Internet of Things (IoTs), requires mobility support and plications and services. Defining characteristics of the Fog geo-distribution in addition to location awareness and low are: a) Low latency and location awareness; b) Wide-spread latency. We argue that a new platform is needed to meet geographical distribution; c) Mobility; d) Very large number these requirements; a platform we call Fog Computing [1], of nodes, e) Predominant role of wireless access, f) Strong or, briefly, Fog, simply because the fog is a cloud close to presence of streaming and real time applications, g) Het- the ground.}
