FogNetwork Orchestration for Heterogeneous Networks

Abstract

The evolution of telecommunications has allowed new paradigms to appear; including Internet of Things (IoT). IoT, enables different physical objects to interact, communicate with each other through the Internet. Another paradigm related to the IoT is fog Computing; which is an extension of the cloud Computing. Fog computing performs cloud computing services such as data storage and control on the edges which allow reducing latency problem in the cloud. Related to fog computing, a procedure that determines how the virtualized resources are allocated is called orchestration, it aims to minimize the latency of fog-based services. This paper proposes a new mechanism for fog orchestration of heterogeneous IoT networks in a way that meets the requirements of the clients of the IoT services. Wherein a client requests a specific computational network, according to which the proposed orchestration will choose a path based on node's available resources and on networks conditions.
