A HYBRID METAHEURISTIC OPTIMIZATION FRAMEWORK FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN EDGE–CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS: COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Keywords:
Edge Computing, Cloud Computing, Resource Allocation, Metaheuristic Optimization, Energy Efficiency, Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithm.Abstract
The increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, real-time analytics, and latency-sensitive serviceshas accelerated the deployment of edge–cloud computing architectures. These environments combine the lowlatency capabilities of edge nodes with the scalable computational resources of cloud data centers. However, efficient resource allocation remains a significant challenge due to dynamic workloads
