The study sets out to design and substantiate a method for the structural–topological synthesis of Fog architecture, enabling the deployment of computational nodes and services within a layered Edge–Fog–Cloud framework. The proposed method enhances system resilience, maintains continuous data processing, and strengthens confidence in both information flows and computational outcomes. For applications that demand real-time responsiveness and energy autonomy, it reduces data transmission delays while easing the load on network infrastructure. System stability is further reinforced through balanced distribution of computational tasks across multiple levels of the hierarchy, ensuring more efficient use of available resources. A central focus of the method is the alignment of performance with operational cost. Factors such as the computing capacity of nodes, the bandwidth of communication channels, and overall energy consumption are all accounted for, resulting in an architecture that is both scalable and resistant to failure. Practical implementation of the approach enables more effective use of IoT devices in combination with cloud technologies, giving organizations, enterprises, and end users immediate access to current data and the ability to respond promptly to environmental changes. These capabilities establish the groundwork for Fog systems to be applied in domains where reliability and timeliness are critical, such as healthcare, transport infrastructure, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation.Moreover, the developed method opens promising avenues for continued research, including advanced optimization of Fog topologies, the design of adaptive resource-scaling mechanisms, and the integration of artificial intelligence algorithms for predictive load management and intelligent data routing. Taken together, these developments foster the evolution of modern information technologies, reinforcing their reliability, efficiency, and adaptability to the requirements of a digital society.
