Intelligent task scheduling for IoT in fog-cloud computing: a deep reinforcement learning approach

Jul 2026 · Cluster Computing · Vol 29 · 0 citations · 37 references

TL;DR

This work proposes a deep reinforcement learning-based task scheduling approach (DRLTS) for the fog-cloud environment, which outperforms heuristics, metaheuristics, and reinforcement learning-based scheduling techniques when it comes to response time, energy efficiency, deadline satisfaction, and performance overall.
