Optimization of makespan and resource utilization in the fog computing environment through task scheduling algorithm.

The Fog computing is rising as a dominant and modern computing model to deliver Internet of Things (IoT) computations, which is an addition to the cloud computing standard to get it probable to perform the IoT requests in the network of edge. In those above independent and dispersed environment, resource allocation is vital. Therefore, scheduling will be a test to enhance potency and allot resources properly to the tasks. This paper offers a distinct task scheduling algorithm in the fog computing environment that tries to depreciate the makespan and maximize resource utilization. This algorithm catalogues the task based on the mean Suffrage value. The suggested algorithm gives much resource utilization and diminishes makespan. Our offered algorithm is compared with different alive scheduling for performance investigation, and test results confirm that our algorithm has a more significant resource utilization rate and low makespan than other familiar algorithms.
