On Edge-Fog-Cloud Collaboration and Reaping Its Benefits: A Heterogeneous Multi-Tier Edge Computing Architecture by Niroshinie Fernando, Samir Shrestha, Seng W. Loke, Kevin Lee

“…The results demonstrate significant improvements, with speedups of up to 7.5 times and energy savings reaching 80%, underlining the effectiveness and practical benefits of our cooperative edge-fog-cloud model in supporting the dynamic computational needs of IoT ecosystems. We argue that a multi-tier (e.g., edge-fog-cloud) dynamic task offloading and management of heterogeneous devices will be key to flexible edge computing, and that the advantage of task relocation and offloading is not straightforward but depends on the configuration of devices and relative device capabilities.…”
