On April 24th, The Fog Computing workshop, organized by Open Fog and ShanghaiTech University (ShanghaiTech), was held in the auditorium of the School of Information Science and Technology (SIST), ShanghaiTech University. Together with the workshop, the Open Fog Consortium Greater China Regional Committee and the Shanghai Institute of Fog Computing Technology (SHIFT) were officially launched. Officials and researchers from ShanghaiTech, Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology (SIMIT), China Institute of Communications, Intel, CISCO, etc. attended this event.
Dr. Yang Yang, Director of the Open Fog Consortium Greater China Regional Committee, and Dr. Xiliang Luo, associate professor. of ShanghaiTech, served as the chairs of the meeting. Mr. Helder Antunes, the Open Fog Chairman, announced the establishment of the Open Fog Consortium Greater China Regional Committee. Prof. Jie Yin, the vice President& provost of ShanghaiTech, and Academician Xi Wang, Director of Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, inaugurated the Shanghai Institute of Fog Computing Technology.
Fog Computing is an extension of Cloud Computing. Fog computing extends the cloud computing model, and it can be widely used in a variety of services. Especially the application of Internet of things. With the rapid development of Internet of things, Fog Computing technology will have broad prospects for development
Leading researchers from Singapore, Taiwan, Hongkong, and other countries/regions gave enlightening talks on fog computing. During the panel session, eight panelists offered their views on the significance, methods, and application fields of fog computing technology.
The Open Fog Consortium (Open Fog) is a public-private ecosystem formed to accelerate the adoption of fog computing. It was founded by ARM, Cisco, Dell, Intel, Microsoft and Princeton University in November 2015 and currently has over 50 members organizations throughout the world.
On January 16, following the election results of the Board of Directors of the Open Fog Consortium, ShanghaiTech was elected as Director unit of Greater China Region, ShanghaiTech Distinguished Professor-in-Residence Yang Yang was appointed Director of the Open Fog Consortium Greater China Region (GCR) Committee. During the term, ShanghaiTech will lead and promote the research, development, testing, and standardizing efforts in the GCR, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and mainland China. The Open Fog GCR Committee will accelerate the adoption of fog computing to solve the bandwidth, latency and communications challenges associated with the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, the Tactile Internet and other advanced concepts in the digitized world.
The Shanghai Institute of Fog Computing Technology (SHIFT) was jointly established by ShanghaiTech University and Shanghai Institute of Micro system and Information Technology. The institute will serve the construction of Zhangjiang Comprehensive National Science Center, and actively participate in major strategic projects and major infrastructure projects including advanced sensors and networking, Smart grid, Smart cars and new energy vehicles, Bigdata and cloud computing. Finally built a major strategic project scientific research and experimental base with world leading level.
