A two-tier bipartite graph task allocation approach based on fuzzy clustering in cloud–fog environment

Recently, a newly distributed computing paradigm is established called cloud–fog paradigm by exploiting the cooperation between fog and cloud entities. In this paradigm, the main problem is task allocation which aims to select the optimal nodes among cloud and fog nodes for each task to minimize makespan, monetary and energy costs. In this paper, to solve this problem a new task allocation approach called two-tier bipartite graph with fuzzy...
