Abstract

The increased adoption of the IoT paradigm requires us to take a good look at the network weight it creates. As adoption increases, so does the network load and server cost, causing a jump in required expenses. A solution for this is Fog Computing, where we distribute the cloud load over the network devices so that the tasks get pre-processed before reaching the cloud level, or might not even have to reach the cloud level. To aid with this research, we wrote a simulator that calculates the optimal spread of the application over the network devices, and shows us how this spread will occur. This spread will be based on context, where for example processor-bound machines get smaller tasks and energy-bound machines get energy-efficient tasks. We use this simulator to compare algorithms used for placing the application.
