Two Approaches to Resource Allocation in Hybrid Fog and Cloud Systems

Abstract

In this paper, two approaches to the hybrid fog and cloud computing environment are presented. The first is based on the assumption of centralized management performed by cloud, while the latter takes utilization of self-managing concept enabling distributed resource allocation carried by fogs. The appropriate mathematical models are introduced and the optimization problems are formulated. While the first concept turned out to be the mixed nonlinear programming, the second may be interpreted as the noncooperative game. The ideas of the possible solutions are briefly suggested.
