Reinforcement R-learning model for time scheduling of on-demand fog placement
Published 2020“…We also demonstrate the ability of our model to improve over time by adapting the new demand of users. Experiments comparing the decisions of our model with two other potential fog placement approaches used for task/service scheduling (threshold based and random based) show that the number of processed requests performed by the cloud decreases from 100 to 30% with a limited number of fogs to push. …”
