Abstract

This paper considers issues related to the efficiency of distributed monitoring systems with mobile components based on the concept of fog computing and distributed ledger technologies. The problem of organizing the computational process in terms of placement and workload reallocation is highlighted. It is proposed to use the ontological approach in order to reduce the search space of candidate nodes for the placement of computational load. The core of this approach is the ontological model built with the subject domain in mind. Experimental studies have shown that the application of the ontological approach can reduce the search space by 80%. The obtained data are consistent with the results of the experiment conducted for another subject area.
