Processing Optimization of Typed Resources with Synchronized Storage and Computation Adaptation in Fog Computing

Abstract EN

Wide application of the Internet of Things (IoT) system has been increasingly demanding more hardware facilities for processing various resources including data, information, and knowledge.

With the rapid growth of generated resource quantity, it is difficult to adapt to this situation by using traditional cloud computing models.

Fog computing enables storage and computing services to perform at the edge of the network to extend cloud computing.

However, there are some problems such as restricted computation, limited storage, and expensive network bandwidth in Fog computing applications.

It is a challenge to balance the distribution of network resources.

We propose a processing optimization mechanism of typed resources with synchronized storage and computation adaptation in Fog computing.

In this mechanism, we process typed resources in a wireless-network-based three-tier architecture consisting of Data Graph, Information Graph, and Knowledge Graph.

The proposed mechanism aims to minimize processing cost over network, computation, and storage while maximizing the performance of processing in a business value driven manner.

Simulation results show that the proposed approach improves the ratio of performance over user investment.

Meanwhile, conversions between resource types deliver support for dynamically allocating network resources.
