Abstract

An augmented connection graph can be created based on a task to be performed by a fog computing node by augmenting a connection graph representing plurality of IoT devices and connections among them. The augmenting can include adding to the connection graph data type nodes representing types of data processed by the fog computing node and adding connections between the data type nodes and IoT devices that generate the type of data represented by the respective data type nodes. A connection can be added between each pair of the IoT devices that are not currently connected and for which a level of correlation between the pair of IoT devices at least equals a threshold value. Based on the augmented connection graph, at least one of the IoT devices to assign to the fog computing node can be determined and assigned to the fog computing node.
