Machine Learning Models for Scheduling On-Demand Fog Placement and Optimizing Container Deployment by Farhat, Peter

“…The proposed technique learns the intensity of service invocations and behavior of end devices at different locations over time for predicting the localization plan. Second, we propose a K-Means based clustering model embedded within a multi-objective optimization scheme for fog and container placement. …”
