S-HIDRA: a blockchain and SDN domain-based architecture to orchestrate fog computing environments

Fog computing arises as a complement to cloud computing where computing and storage are provided in a decentralized way rather than the centralized approach of the cloud paradigm. In addition, blockchain provides a decentralized and immutable ledger which can provide support for running arbitrary lo...
