Abstract
Fog computing as a paradigm was offered more than a decade ago to solve Cloud Computing issues. Long transmission distances, higher data flow, data loss, latency, and energy consumption lead to providing services at the edge of the network. But, fog devices are known for being mobile and heterogenous. Their resources can be limited, and their availability can be constantly changing. A service placement optimization is needed to meet the QoS requirements. We propose a service placement orchestration, which functions as a multi-agent system. Fog computing services are represented by agents that can both work independently and cooperate. Service placement is being completed by a two-stage optimization method. Our service placement orchestrator is distributed, services are discovered dynamically, resources can be monitored, and communication messages among fog nodes can be signed and encrypted as a solution to the weakness of multi-agent systems due to the lack of monitoring tools and security.
