Abstract Task offloading is a key strategy in Fog Computing (FC). The definition of resource-constrained devices no longer applies to sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) embedded system devices alone. Smart and mobile units can also be viewed as resource-constrained devices if the power, cloud applications, and data cloud are included in the set of required resources. In a cloud-fog-based architecture, a task instance running on an end device may need to be offloaded to a fog node to complete its execution. However, in a busy network, a second offloading decision is required when the fog… More >

Abstract The modern paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to a significant increase in demand for latency-sensitive applications in Fog-based cloud computing. However, such applications cannot meet strict quality of service (QoS) requirements. The large-scale deployment of IoT requires more effective use of network infrastructure to ensure QoS when processing big data. Generally, cloud-centric IoT application deployment involves different modules running on terminal devices and cloud servers. Fog devices with different computing capabilities must process the data generated by the end device, so deploying latency-sensitive applications in a heterogeneous fog computing environment is… More >
