Abstract
The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare is increasing significantly, bringing high-quality health services, but it still generates massive data with massive energy consumption. Due to the limited resources of fog servers and their impact on limiting the time needed for health data analysis tasks, the need to handle this problem in a fast way has become a necessity. To address this issue, many optimization and IoT-based approaches have been proposed. In this paper, a dynamic and adaptive healthcare service deployment controller using hybrid bio-inspired multi-agents is proposed. This method offers optimal energy costs and maintains the highest possible performance for fog cloud computing. At first, IGWO (Improved Grey Wolf Optimization) is used to initialize the deployment process using the nearest available fog servers. Then, an efficient energy-saving task deployment was achieved through Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to reduce energy consumption, increase rewards across multiple fog servers, and improve task deployment. Finally, to ensure continuous control of underloaded and overloaded servers, the neighborhood multi-agent coordination model is developed to manage healthcare services between the fog servers. The developed approach is implemented in the iFogSim simulator and various evaluation metrics are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested approach. The simulation outcome proved that the suggested technique provides has better performance than other existing approaches.
