Abstract

As we know the Internet of Things applications are emerging as a helping hand for the ease of mankind in day-to-day life but when it clubs with cloud computing comes up with the limitation of far distance among Internet of Things gadgets and cloud computing infrastructure which gives an idea to work with a new distributed computing environment with the combination of “cloud computing” and fog computing. “Fog computing” majorly can be used to minimize the transmission delay (latency) and the cost for use of cloud assets as cloud computing helps us to use the complex, large, and heavy tasks to be offloaded on cloud. Here, with this article, we are showing a study for the trade-off between cloud cost and makespan whenever we are scheduling applications in such a kind of environment. We give an algorithm called BAS to sequence applications with the balance between performance and cost of cloud usage. With the simulated results, we have shown that our proposed method is working better compared to some peer methods.
