Issue management

There are several issues available in the connection between the cloud computing and fog computing. The details regarding the issues are following:

Risk Management

Risk analysis has been performed with great attention and attempt has been made to undercover all the available risks and have complete knowledge about the various factors. A research could not be completed without considering its all the available risks as it plays an important role while dealing with the technology. Without considering the risks, the technology when implemented and deployed could resulted into failure. When risks are known then controlling methods could also be implemented and the project could be controlled and useful tools and techniques could be implemented.

Gap analysis

The gap analysis has been performed by analysing the whole performed research and finding the uncovered aspects in the research. Any limitation of the research work has been founded which could be beneficial to continue the research further or overcome the available issues. Some of the limitations founded in the research are following:

Mitigating risks

The risks that have been founded are important to overcome but sometime expert solutions may require. In the research work, the mitigating plan has been well focused and analysed and then represented in the report. These mitigating plans are beneficial to control the available risks and preventing the project failure. Some external efforts may require or deep analysis of the plans by the experts could also be required.

Asset management

The management of asset in the research could be performed well as optimized results could be gained by finding the appropriate asset for the required task. Performing the tasks could be tedious allocating the right resource for right task could be difficult but could yield high output when performed.
