Connecting objects have increasingly become popular in recent years, leading to the connection of more than 50 billion objects by the end of 2020. This large number of objects will generate a huge amount of data that is currently being processed and stored in the cloud. Fog Computing presents a promising solution to the problems of high latency and huge network traffic encountered in the cloud. As Fog’s infrastructures are dense, heterogeneous and geo-distributed, managing the data in order to satisfy users demand in such context is very complicated. In this work, we propose a data management strategy called ‘RMS-HaFC’ in which we consider the characteristics of Fog Computing environment. To do so, we proposed a hierarchical multi-layer model, on which we designed a migration and replication strategy based on data popularity. These strategies duplicate files dynamically and store them in different locations to improve the response time of users requests and minimize the system energy consumption without loading network usage. The strategy was evaluated using the iFogSim simulator and the experimental results obtained are very promising.

One of the drawbacks of glowworm swarm optimisation (GSO) is its premature convergence, which leaves it often ineffective for solving complex practical problems. This paper proposes a new hybrid metaheuristic algorithm, that is, moth-flame glowworm swarm optimisation (MFGSO). The main idea of the hybrid algorithm is to combine the exploration ability in moth-flame optimisation (MFO) with the exploitation ability in GSO. Performance evaluations are conducted on benchmarking test functions in comparison with the basic GSO and other metaheuristic algorithms. The results show that MFGSO outperforms the basic GSO and other metaheuristic algorithms on most test functions in terms of local optima avoidance and convergence speed.
