Abstract

A cloud and fog distributed network is a necessary computing platform for hardware devices that an application, program or process executes upon. In order to manage such the network, a multi-state cloud and fog distributed network (MCFDN) is constructed. MCFDN reliability is proposed for evaluating performance of the MCFDN in the study. It is defined as the probability that demands can be transmitted through the MCFDN. Several phases of the data transmission exist in the MCFDN. The demands generated from data senders (such as IoT devices) can transmit to fog servers and cloud servers. When focused on the demands on the fog servers (resp. cloud servers), the demands would be compressed and transmitted back to the data senders and to the cloud servers (fog servers). Based on the transmission mechanisms, an algorithm is developed to calculate MCFDN reliability by elucidating flow relationships among the data senders, fog servers, and cloud servers. A benchmark is provided to demonstrate and validate the applicability of the proposed methodology. Finally, managers can manage and make suitable decisions for the cloud and fog distributed network by MCFDN reliability.
