© 2014 IEEE. Fog computing is an emergent computing paradigm that extends the cloud paradigm. With the explosive growth of smart devices and mobile users, cloud computing no longer matches the requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT) era. Fog computing is a promising solution to satisfying these new requirements, such as low latency, uninterrupted service, and location awareness. As a typical new computing paradigm and network architecture, fog computing raises new challenges, such as privacy, data management, data analytics, information overload, and participatory sensing. In this article, we present a fog-based hybrid recommender system to address the issue of information overload in fog computing. Our proposed system not only abstracts useful information from the fog environment but can also be considered as an optimization tool due to its ability to provide suggestions to improve system performance. In particular, we demonstrate that the proposed system provides personalized and localized recommendations to users, and also advise the system itself to precache the content to optimize the storage capacity of the fog server.
