QoS based Scheduling in Fog Computing Environment using AHP

Abstract

With the rapid development in the technology Fog computing environment has appeared as a new paradigm reducing a lot of issues in Cloud computing. Earlier various users were dependent on Cloud for the execution of various applications such as health monitoring and emergency response which need low latency and delay. Fog computing environment has various layers that have their own computation and latency. Thus for a better quality of application such as video games various applications need to be placed on the appropriate Fog layer. Also, AHP is known for its multi-criteria decision making and can be used for the selection of best possible Fog layer among others. The current focus of our research is to perform QoS based scheduling in Fog environment using the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). We have evaluated the performance on the basis of parameters such as storage, CPU cycle, network bandwidth, maximum latency, processing time
