    Abstract

    In this paper we present Seattle, a practical and publicly accessible fog computing platform with a deployment history going back to 2009. Seattle's cross-platform portable sandbox implementation tackles the widely-recognized issue of node heterogeneity. Its componentized architecture supports a number of approaches to operating a Seattle-based fog system, from isolated, standalone and peer-to-peer operations, to full-fledged provisioning by a dedicated operator, or federations of many operators. Seattle's components and interfaces are designed for compatibility and reuse, and may be aligned with existing trust boundaries between different stakeholders. Seattle comprises implementations of all components discussed in this paper. Its free, open-source software stack has been used for teaching and research; outside groups have used existing Seattle components and constructed new components with compatible interfaces in order to adapt the platform to their needs.
