Abstract

Fog computing extends cloud computing to the edge of the network and reduces latency. In fog computing, tasks generated by the user are allocated to fog devices to maintain load balancing. In this paper, a SPA two-sided matching algorithm, based on the student project allocation algorithm, is proposed for allocating user tasks to fog devices. The two-sided matching is intended to improve the stability of matching, and its feasibility is verified through experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed method can satisfy the requirements of matching and maximize its benefits.
