Analyzing Digital Services Across the Compute Continuum Using iFogSim

Digital services enable users to interact with a broad range of applications and, as such, have become an essential part of our daily lives. Although convenient, their ubiquity comes at a significant cost in energy, raising sustainability concerns. We access these services by triggering a computing continuum, spanning from the device to the edge, fog, and cloud. Scheduling decisions made at each layer impact the overall quality of service (QoS) and energy consumption of digital services.
