Abstract

With the phenomenal growth of Internet, the technologies associated with the Internet like cloud computing and fog computing also grown massively. At the same time, the issues in this technology also need to be addressed while allocating and deploying resources. Regardless of rapid growth of cloud computing, plenty of issues are there which are necessary to be solved due to ingrained property of cloud computing such as location awareness, unreliable delay and lack of mobility support. Fog computing means bringing the centralized computing cloud resources to the edge of the network. Fog computing copes with the problems in cloud computing by giving flexible resources and services to end users, even cloud computing is more approximately imparting resource dispersed in the core network. The differences between compute-intensive applications and resource-limited gadgets result in restricting the quality of the system. In fog technology, the logical inconsistency should be tackled by task scheduling. Because of the mushrooming of Internet of things, effective means of allocating resource for the clients whenever it is requested is very challenging task in fog technology. This paper gives a survey of different mechanisms proposed for scheduling the tasks and allocating the resources in fog technology. The various techniques proposed by different authors are reviewed in detail. Finally, an analysis is made by comparing the disadvantages of each technique and suggestions are given for betterment in task scheduling and resource allocation in fog effectively.
