Smart Shadow - An Autonomous Availability Computation Resource Allocation Platform for Internet of Things in the Fog Computing Environment

Abstract

In the ecosystem of Internet of Things, many applications require external computational resources with quick response. In this context, a possible solution is to use computational resources from other devices that are located nearby the host device. This new environment is named Fog computing and creates several opportunities and challenges. One these challenges, which is the focus of this work, is how to allocate available resources in a simple and effective way for a client device that you want to use these features. The proposal "Smart Shadow" is an autonomous platform availability allocation of computer resources in a Fog computing infrastructure based on learning from previous event to support mobile hosts devices.
