Abstract

As Internet of Things (IoT) becomes popular, different approaches to increasing its quality also so. One of the used paradigms to enhance these applications is fog computing. The fog intends to bring computational power closer to the users (edge). This paradigm is known to mitigate costs and energy consumption and also to benefit location-aware applications. As fog environments can cover small to medium areas, these can be used to increase location awareness. To make it possible, researchers have used cluster computing. However, in new scenarios, cluster formation can be a challenge since when manually set, geographical-location parameters can be biased. In this manner, this paper aimed to promote a cluster formation algorithm based on these geographical parameters. To evaluate our proposal, we compared our approach to the original using the standardized EUA dataset through iFogSim v2. The proposed algorithm was capable of creating clusters based on accepted node range and maximum nodes per cluster, operating similarly to the original dataset.
