GWS—A Collaborative Load-Balancing Algorithm for Internet-of-Things

This paper firstly replaces the first-come-first-service (FCFS) mechanism with the time-sharing (TS) mechanism in fog computing nodes (FCNs). Then a collaborative load-balancing algorithm for the TS mechanism is proposed for FCNs. The algorithm is a variant of a work-stealing scheduling algorithm, a...
