A Technique of Adaptation of the Workload Distribution Problem Model for the Fog-Computing Environment

Abstract

In this paper the technique of workload distribution problem model adaptation to the fog-computing environment is presented. Workload distribution problem is solved for a wide range of systems, including reconfigurable ones, but its generic formalization doesn’t pay attention to the peculiarities of the fog-computing environment. If the system is migrated to the mentioned environment, all algorithms of tasks re-distribution (if some are there) should be revised. We propose a technique for the workload distribution problem adaptation to the fog-computing environment. It includes additional parameters, the variety of additional objective functions which have to be chosen according to the computational process model, and the additional constraints. These components are injected into the problem formal model and allow to get the solution related to the fog-computing environment.
