Cover Story: By offering low-latency and context-aware services, fog computing will have play peculiar role in the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) applications for smart environments. However, unlike the conventional remote cloud, for which consolidated architectures exist, many design and implementation aspects remain open when considering fog computing. This article focuses on the problems of dynamically discovering the processing and storage resources distributed among fog nodes and, accordingly, orchestrating them for the provisioning of IoT services for smart environments. A framework is proposed where these functionalities are effectively supported by the revolutionary named data networking (NDN) paradigm. View this paper.
