A Deep Learning Model for Energy-Aware Task Scheduling Algorithm Based on Learning Automata for Fog Computing

Abstract This paper presents an artificial intelligence deep learning model for an energy-aware task scheduling algorithm based on learning automata (LA) in the Fog Computing (FC) Applications. FC is a distributed computing model that serves as an intermediate layer between the cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) to improve the quality of service. The IoT is the closest model to the wireless sensor network (WSN). One of its important applications is to create a global approach to health care system infrastructure development that reflects recent advances in WSN. The most influential factor in energy consumption is task scheduling. In this paper, the issue of reducing energy consumption is investigated as an important challenge in the fog environment. Also, an algorithm is presented to solve the task scheduling problem based on LA and measure the makespan (MK) and cost parameters. Then, a new artificial neural network deep model is proposed, based on the presented LA task scheduling fog computing algorithm. The proposed neural model can predict the relation among MK, energy and cost parameters versus VM length for the first time. The proposed model results show that all of the desired parameters can be predicted with high precision.
