Abstract
A method for managing computation load of a fog node is disclosed, wherein a computation capacity of the fog node is predicted to become unavailable to a fog network. The method comprises identifying a candidate set of nodes for computational load transfer from the fog node. The method further comprises obtaining a computation graph representing computation in the fog network, and using a learning model to identify a morphism from the obtained computation graph to a new computation graph, in which the fog node is not included. The identified morphism comprises a sequence of one or more morphing operations that replaces the fog node in the obtained computation graph with a topology of one or more nodes selected from the candidate set. The method further comprises causing computation performed at the fog node to be transferred to one or more nodes of the candidate set.
