Blockchain-Fog Computing Integration Applications: A Systematic Review

Open Access
|Mar 2023

Abstract

The Fog computing concept has been introduced to aid in the data processing of Internet of things applications using Cloud computing. Due to the profitable benefits of this combination, several papers have lately been published proposing the deployment of Blockchain alongside Fog computing in a variety of fields. A comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of the literature on Blockchain-Fog computing integration applications that have emerged in recent years is required. Although there have been several articles on the integration of Blockchain with Fog computing, the applications connected with this combination are still fragmented and require further exploration. Hence, in this paper, the applications of Blockchain-Fog computing integration are identified using a systematic literature review technique and tailored search criteria generated from the study objectives. This article found and evaluated 144 relevant papers. The findings of this article can be used as a resource for future Fog computing research and designs.
