A Review of Workload Challenges in Fog Computing Environment

Abstract

Users nowadays in environments with Fog computing require applications that respond quickly to their requests for everything they want to access and work quickly and require to increase in the Quality of Service (QoS) metrics such as minimum energy consumption, bandwidth efficiency, and reduction latency in a Fog network, resulting in an improvement in the system's performance, that is done by getting to know the workload on the network and how to deal with it. In this paper, the various Fog computing workloads are described, along with where each one should be executed, in addition, discuss the load-balancing techniques and strategies count as a very important issue and one of the important challenges in the Fog computing environment, that play a significant role in resource management like resource provisioning, task offloading, resource scheduling, and resource allocation this will be done based on reviewing previous research and discussing the most important concepts in it.
