DD-SPP: Dynamic and Distributed Service Placement Policy for Optimal Scheduling in Fog-Edge Computing

The existing cloud model unable to handle abundant amount of Internet of Things (IoT) services placed by the end users due to its far distant location from end user and centralized nature. The edge and fog computing are the latest technologies for developing smart cities that are becoming popular to efficiently support latency-sensitive IoT application services. But these advanced technologies suffer from limited size and computation capabilities; therefore, optimal placement of services among available resources is an open issue. Therefore, the proposed work target the stated issue and presents a Dynamic and Distributed Service Placement Policy (DD-SPP) considering the edge and fog devices. The model is divided into three main phases, that is, the Service Type Estimator (STE), the Service Dependency Estimator & Resolution (SDER), and Resource Demand Estimator & Scheduling (RDES). STE and RDES modules depend on each other to perform optimal service placement. The results of the implementation showed satisfactory improvement with respect to present state-of-the-art policy where delay is improved by around 41%, energy is improved by 27%, response time by 28% and overall cost by 28%.
