Task Based Resource Scheduling in IoT Environment for Disaster Management

Poor resource management may lead to loss of many lives and affects the economy. During the disasters, communication networks are destroyed and re-establishment of dynamic network is a challenging issue. However, Internet of Things is an advanced technology which enables communication anytime, anywhere and anyplace. In such situations, IoT may provide available information of resources that can be scheduled for different tasks. In this paper, we address resource scheduling issue and exploited bankers algorithm ensuring the optimum utilization of resources. Further, we evaluated our approach with execution time and fairness of resource allocation for utility. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
