Cloud, Fog and Mist Computing for Real-Time Applications:
Resource Allocation and Scheduling Challenges

Abstract:
The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) applications contributed to the immense development of smart environments, thus making the traditional Cloud computing inefficient for transferring the huge amount of data generated by IoT devices. As a result, Fog and Mist computing have emerged as new computing models to cope with the problem of transmission latency by placing computations close to the IoT layer. Typically, IoT applications are time-sensitive and the primary concern is meeting their deadlines. Consequently, the utilization of appropriate resource allocation and scheduling policies for real-time applications in multi-tier environments is of paramount importance.
In this talk we will highlight novel techniques to address challenges in resource allocation and scheduling of time-critical applications in cloud, fog and mist computing infrastructures. Additionally, we will identify and provide research trends and future directions in the cloud, fog and mist computing research areas.
