Demo Abstract: FogExplorer

Fog application design is complex as it comprises not only the application architecture, but also the runtime infrastructure, and the deployment mapping from application modules to infrastructure machines. For each of these aspects, there is a variety of design options that all affect quality of service and cost of the resulting application. In this demo paper, we introduce FogExplorer, an interactive simulation tool for the QoS and cost evaluation of fog-based IoT applications already during the design phase.
