Introduction:
The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a groundbreaking force in technological growth,
fundamentally altering our interactions with the digital realm. It is a network of physical devices
equipped with sensors, actuators, and communication capabilities, enabling them to
communicate data independently. IoT has found widespread applications in various sectors, such
as healthcare, smart cities, agriculture, and industrial automation, significantly enhancing
efficiency and stimulating innovation. However, the rapid expansion of IoT applications presents
several challenges that require careful consideration for successful integration into our daily
routines.

The vast scope of IoT applications encompasses various industries, ranging from smart homes to
industrial automation. For instance, in smart homes, IoT facilitates the incorporation of devices
such as thermostats, lighting systems, and security cameras, allowing users to remotely monitor
and control their residences. Similarly, IoT improves operational efficiency in industrial settings
by enabling predictive maintenance using real-time data collected from sensors on machines.
However, challenges encountered by IoT applications include security vulnerabilities, privacy
risks, interoperability challenges, and they need efficient task scheduling.

Efficient task scheduling is essential in IoT application development to allocate resources


effectively and optimize performance across various devices and with extensive data generation.
At the core of IoT lies the ability to carry out essential tasks to derive valuable insights from data
collected from interconnected devices. These tasks encompass the analysis of data streams, real-
time decision-making, and triggering applicable actions based on the analyzed information.
Therefore, efficient task scheduling in IoT systems becomes crucial to maximize resource
consumption and fulfill the varying performance requirements of these jobs. It not only increases
the overall responsiveness of IoT systems but also assures reliability by reacting rapidly to user
inputs or evolving environmental circumstances.

Addressing the issue of task scheduling in IoT applications necessitates the investigation of
alternative strategies and methodologies. Traditional cloud-centric approaches, while initially
effective, face obstacles such as latency and bandwidth limitations and are dependent on a
centralized infrastructure. At the core of managing these complexities lies Fog computing, which
is a unique technology specifically designed to address these challenges in task scheduling for
IoT applications. By decentralizing computing resources and bringing them closer to the edge
devices where data is created, analyzed, and acted upon, fog computing mitigates latency
concerns and significantly boosts the overall performance of IoT applications.

The use of fog computing in IoT task scheduling is significant owing to its ability to ameliorate
challenges presented by conventional cloud-centric solutions. Specifically, fog computing
permits edge devices to offload computational activities to local fog nodes, lessening the burden
on centralized cloud servers and addressing latency concerns. Furthermore, fog computing
allows real-time processing and analysis of data at the edge, enabling quicker decision-making in
time-sensitive applications. However, the use of fog computing in task scheduling for IoT
applications also presents its own set of challenges, including resource allocation, load
balancing, and security considerations. A deep awareness and resolution of these challenges are
needed to leverage the full potential of fog computing in optimizing task scheduling for IoT
applications.

In conclusion, a deeper examination of job scheduling algorithms within the realm of fog
computing is necessary to unlock the full potential of IoT applications. By delving into the
complexities of IoT, researching its numerous applications, and overcoming the challenges it
presents, academics and practitioners can design innovative scheduling algorithms that utilize the
advantages of fog computing. This review study aims to analyze and assess current work
scheduling algorithms within the context of fog computing, highlighting their strengths,
limitations, and potential areas for development. Through this inquiry, we hope to contribute to
the ongoing effort to improve the efficiency and reliability of IoT applications across many
fields.
