Researchers’ interest in Fog Computing and its application in different sectors has been increasing since the last decade. To discover the emerging trends inherent to this architecture, we analyzed the scientific literature indexed in Scopus through a bibliometric study. Exposing trends in areas of development will allow researchers to understand the changes and evolution over time. For analysis purposes, we used three approaches: performance analysis, science mapping, and literature clustering. Analysis results revealed promising investigation areas in the Fog Computing architecture from 2012 to 2021, which emphasizes that Fog Computing will continue to be an interesting field of research in the future.
