Context aware dynamic relative positioning of fog nodes in a fog computing ecosystem

Abstract:

Methods and systems for context aware dynamic relative positioning of fog nodes in a fog computing ecosystem are disclosed. A method includes: receiving, by a computing device, data from a plurality of Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensors in an environment; creating, by the computing device, a model using the data from the plurality of IoT sensors; determining, by the computing device, a number of computing nodes based on the model and additional data received from the plurality of IoT sensors; and deploying, by the computing device, at least one mobile computing node in the environment based on the determined number of computing nodes and a number of existing computing nodes in the environment.
