Devising a method for balancing the load on a territorially distributed foggy environment

Abstract

This study solves the task to redistribute the load on a geographically distributed foggy environment in order to achieve a load balance of virtual clusters. The necessity and possibility of developing a universal and at the same time scientifically based approach to load balancing has been determined. Object of study: the process of redistribution of load in a foggy environment between virtual, geographically distributed clusters. A load balancing method makes it possible to reduce delays and decrease the time for completing tasks on foggy nodes, which brings task processing closer to real time. To solve the task, a mathematical model of the functioning of a separate cluster in a foggy environment has been built. As a result of modeling, the problem of finding the optimal distribution of tasks across the nodes of the virtual cluster was obtained. The limitations of the problem take into account the characteristics of the physical nodes of support for the virtual cluster. The process of distributing the additional load was also simulated through the graph representation of tasks entering virtual clusters. The task to devise a method for load transfer between virtual clusters within a foggy environment is solved using the proposed iterative algorithm for finding a suitable cluster and placing the load. The simulation results showed that the balance of the foggy environment when using the proposed method increases significantly provided the network load is small. The scope of application of the results includes geographically distributed foggy systems, in particular the foggy layer of the industrial Internet of Things. A necessary practical condition for using the proposed results is the non-exceeding the specified limit of the total load on the foggy medium, usually 70 %

Devising a method for the virtual clustering of the Internet of Things edge environment

“…Also, in contrast to the methods given in [15,18,19], the resource costs of nodes of the edge environment are taken into account. Compared to the methods described in [16,17], when using the method of building a virtual cluster of the IoT edge environment, the performance of the network increases. This becomes possible thanks to the increase in load balancing of the physical devices of the edge layer.…”

“…The methods proposed in [16,17] are focused on load balancing in distributed systems. But they do not take into account the most important characteristic of edge layer devices -limited resources.…”

Fuzzy Interactive Clustering Method

“…When working with texts, the first step of the algorithm is clustering is definition space signs and construction in it vectors available texts [5,6]. Typically received vectors have big dimensions and when working with them traditional cluster analysis methods do not provide sufficient efficiency [7][8][9][10].…”
