Abstract
A method for allocating resources of fog nodes is disclosed, wherein the fog nodes are organized into at least one fog network. The method includes receiving a request from a client node, identifying requirements for fulfillment of the request, determining a location of the client node for fulfillment of the request, and identifying, from the identified requirements and the determined location, a cluster of fog nodes operable to fulfill the request. The method further includes selecting, from the identified cluster, fog nodes the resources of which are to be allocated to fulfilling the request by minimizing at least one of a number of clusters required to fulfill the request, a total time to fulfill requests received by the fog nodes, and/or a number of unfulfilled requests received by the fog nodes.
