A Comprehensive Survey on Resource Management for IoT Applications in Edge-Fog-Cloud Environments by Nour El Houda Boubaker, Karim Zarour, Nawal Guermouche, Djamel Benmerzoug

“…Resource management in Edge-Fog-Cloud environments has emerged as a fundamental challenge in modern distributed computing systems, primarily due to the heterogeneous nature of underlying infrastructure, highly dynamic workloads, and the need to optimize multiple, often conflicting, Quality of Service (QoS) metrics such as latency, energy consumption, cost, and security. These environments are characterized by their layered architecture and real-time decision-making demands, which require efficient coordination among distributed resources to meet the expectations of both users and applications. …”
