Resource scheduling in fog: Taxonomy and related aspects

Abstract

The era of technological advancements has arisen the need to cultivate the research process to its fullest extent. Emerging technologies in the domain of service-oriented paradigms have engrossed the users in the network manifestation and its computing paradigms. The world of utility computing has successfully rendered a helping hand to its customers by offering computing paradigms like cloud, fog and other similar utilities. Therefore, reaping the benefits of such models could rapidfire services in a very short span of time. Besides, faster service time has been made viable by enablement of fog computing paradigm. Therefore, exploiting its resource utilization to maximum point would lead maximized profit to the providers of the services. Mechanisms needs to be devised that could efficaciously manage resources. This the orientation of this paper has been directed towards exploring all the resource management techniques in fog model and current challenges that are prevailing in existing mechanisms.
