[CLOSED]Efficient Resource Allocation and Management in Fog Computing for IoT

2023.10.18


 

  Efficient resource allocation and management in fog computing for the IoT is an essential factor in ensuring optimal performance and scalability within this dynamic computing paradigm. With the proliferation of IoT devices and the exponential growth of generated data fog computing has emerged as a promising solution to handle the increasing computational and storage demands at the edge of the network. Fog computing enables data processing and analysis closer to the IoT devices reducing latency and enhancing real-time decision making. However, the limited resources available at the edge like processing power, storage capacity, and energy necessitate efficient allocation and management to ensure optimal utilization. Efficient resource management in fog computing also involves effective data placement strategies. IoT generates vast amounts of data that need to be stored and processed efficiently. Implementing data caching mechanisms where frequently accessed data is stored closer to the edge, reduces latency and enhances responsiveness. Moreover, intelligent data replication techniques ensure data availability, fault tolerance, and optimized resource utilization.

Dynamic workload distribution, adaptive resource provisioning, intelligent data placement, and energy conservation techniques play vital roles in maximizing resource utilization while meeting application requirements. Embracing advanced analytics and machine learning enables intelligent decision-making for optimal resource allocation. As fog computing continues to evolve, efficient resource management remains a key area of focus to unlock the full potential of IoT applications in diverse domains. Furthermore, energy efficiency is a crucial consideration in resource management for fog computing. IoT devices often operate with limited power by making energy conservation more essential. Fog nodes can employ techniques such as task offloading, where computationally intensive tasks are offloaded to nearby nodes with more resources by utilising reducing energy consumption at the device level. The Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements, identify open research problems, and propose novel solutions in this domain. We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to exchange ideas, share their findings, and contribute to the advancement of this field.
