Abstract
In the IoT+Fog+Cloud architecture, with the ever increasing growth of IoT devices, allocation of IoT devices to the Fog service providers will be challenging and needs to be addressed properly in both the strategic and non-strategic settings. In this paper, we have addressed this allocation problem in strategic settings. The framework is developed under the consideration that the IoT devices (e.g. wearable devices) collecting data (e.g. health statistics) are deploying it to the Fog service providers for some meaningful processing free of cost. Truthful and Pareto optimal mechanisms are developed for this framework and are validated with some simulations.
