Making use of a smart fog hub to develop new services in airports

Abstract

The EC H2020 mF2C Project aims at developing a software framework that enables the orchestration of resources and communication at Fog level, as an extension of Cloud Computing and interacting with the IoT. In order to show the project functionalities and added-values three real world Use Cases have been chosen. This paper introduces the mF2C Use case 3: Smart Fog Hub Service (SFHS), in the context of an airport, with the objective of proving that great potential value and different business opportunities can be created in physical environments with a great concentration of smart objects, to showcase the wide range of scenarios on which mF2C can impact, validate the project in industrial events and determine a massive interest of relevant stakeholders.
