4. DISCUSSION

“SOME OF YOUR CRITIQUES from the Annotated

The discussion is the productive, creative and

innovative part of writing a paper. It is the thinking about
the implications of the results that you got, and the
literature search for a comparable or contradictive paper
that you learn something.

- You should not refer tables or figures here, instead only the
overall results without referring figure or table numbers.

- You should indicate how your results relate to expectations

and to earlier research?

principles of FogBus, a cost efficient prototype for Sleep
Apnea analysis is also developed in this work. Applying
different FogBus settings on the prototype, it is demonstrated
that FogBus performs well even when large number of tasks
are required to be processed, the execution of tasks are latency
sensitive, network resources are not abundant, energy usage is
restricted and computing instances are not resource enriched.

APPENDIX
Appendixes, if needed, appear before the acknowledgment.
Most of the mathematical explanation should go to the

Example

In this work, we propose the FogBus framework that can

integrate different IoT-enabled systems to both Fog and Cloud
infrastructures. The framework is lightweight and can harness
both edge and remote resources for IoT application
deployment, monitoring and management. FogBus is
developed in cross platform programming languages that helps
to overcome the heterogeneity of the infrastructure during
application execution and end-to-end interaction. Additionally,
the FogBus framework functions as a Platform-as-a-Service
(PaaS) model for integrated Fog Cloud environment that not
only assists application developers to build different types of
IoT applications but also supports users to customize the
services, and service providers to manage the resources
according to the context of the system. Since some IoT-
enabled systems such as health monitoring and utility service
metering deal with sensitive data, FogBus applies
authentication for data privacy and Blockchain for data
integrity. To procure data transfer across less secure network,
