Improving the performance of the fuzzy-internet of things joint system by using an efficient service deployment algorithm

Abstract

The aim of this paper to present research proposes a quality of service (QoS)-fog service placement algorithm, which is in the context of providing better performance when there are requests for high-priority (delay-sensitive) services. Our proposed algorithm attempts to maintain the implementation of delay-sensitive services within a fog environment. Its performance was evaluated by comparing it with two placement strategies (cloud only, edge-ward), using the MobFogSim simulator. The results showed that the proposal achieved better performance than the two mentioned strategies, from two perspectives (according to the scenarios). The first is at the service level, where the algorithm was able to achieve a lower average response time and the other is at the system level, as it was able to reduce the total energy consumption by adopting a mechanism to save energy when there is a low network load.
