The Framework of the MDATA Computing Model

Abstract

The cyberspace has expanded from traditional internet to ubiquitous cyberspace which interconnects human, machines, things, services, and applications. The computing paradigm is also shifting from centralized computing in the cloud to collaborative computing in the front end, middle layer, and cloud. Therefore, traditional computing paradigms such as cloud computing and edge computing can no longer satisfy the evolving computing needs of big data in ubiquitous cyberspace. This chapter proposes a computing architecture named Fog-cloud Computing for big data in ubiquitous cyberspace. Collaborative computing by multiple knowledge actors in the fog, middle layer, and cloud is realized based on the collaborative computing language and models, thereby providing a solution for big data computing in ubiquitous cyberspace.
