Abstract The pervasiveness of mobile devices is a common phenomenon nowadays, and with the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), an increasing number of connected devices are being deployed. In Smart Cities, data collection, processing, and distribution play critical roles in everyday quality of life and city planning and development. The use of Cloud computing to support massive amounts of data generated and consumed in Smart Cities has some limitations, such as increased latency and substantial network traffic, hampering support for a variety of applications that need low response times. In this chapter, we introduce and discuss aspects of distributed multi-tiered Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) architectures, which offer data storage and processing capabilities closer to data sources and data consumers, taking into account how mobility impacts the management of such infrastructure. The main goal is to address topics on how such infrastructure can be used to support content distribution from and to mobile users, how to optimize the resource allocation in such infrastructure, as well as how an intelligent layer can be added to the MEC/Fog infrastructure. Furthermore, a multifaceted literature review is given, as well as the open issues and challenging aspects of resource and application management will also be discussed in this chapter. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
