摘要

The proliferation of IoT devices has exerted significant demand on computing systems to process data rapidly, efficiently, and in proximity to its source. Conventional cloud-based methods frequently fail because of elevated latency and centralized constraints. Fog computing has emerged as a viable option by decentralizing computation to the edge; yet, successfully scheduling work in these dynamic and heterogeneous contexts continues to pose a significant difficulty. This research presents A Neuro-Fuzzy Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning (NF-MORL), an innovative framework that integrates neuro-fuzzy systems with multi-objective reinforcement learning to tackle task scheduling in fog networks. The concept is straightforward yet impactful: a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy layer addresses uncertainty and offers interpretable priorities, while a multi-objective actor–critic agent acquires the capacity to reconcile conflicting objectives makespan, energy consumption, cost, and reliability through practical experience. We assessed NF-MORL using empirical data from Google Cluster and EdgeBench. The findings were promising: relative to cutting-edge techniques, our methodology decreased makespan by up to 35%, enhanced energy efficiency by about 30%, reduced operational expenses by up to 40%, and augmented fault tolerance by as much as 37%. These enhancements persisted across various workload sizes, demonstrating that NF-MORL can effectively adjust to fluctuating situations. Our research indicates that integrating human-like reasoning through fuzzy logic with autonomous learning via reinforcement learning can yield more effective and resilient schedulers for actual fog deployments.
