Task Scheduling in the Fog to Cloud Continuum for IoT Services: A Taxonomy and Structured Synthesis of Distributed Resource Management

The paper argues for a shift from proof of concept scheduling studies toward reproducible, transparent, and deployable fog systems, and identifies several priorities for future work: standardized benchmark workloads, cloud native scheduling that accounts for container lifecycle and microservice dependencies, resilience aware scheduling that treats failures and migration as first class concerns, and carbon aware orchestration that extends beyond energy minimization.
