MUMBAI, India, Nov. 28 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531108814 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology Jamshedpur; Jitender Pratap Dehury; and Dinesh Kumar, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, on Nov. 10, for 'a hybrid optimization system for efficient container placement in fog computing environments.'
Inventor(s) include National Institute Technology; Jitender Pratap Dehury; and Dinesh Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 28, under issue no. 48/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a hybrid optimization system and method are disclosed for efficient container placement in fog computing environments. The system comprises a fog computing layer with distributed heterogeneous fog nodes, and a container deployment module that handles containerized microservices with defined resource and latency requirements. A hybrid metaheuristic optimization engine combines Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) for global search and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) for local refinement. An integration controller orchestrates the sequential execution of BPSO and ABC phases to balance exploration and exploitation, adaptively tuning optimization parameters to avoid local optima. An evaluation module assesses placement solutions based on resource utilization, latency, and power efficiency, selecting an optimal deployment configuration. The method involves initializing placement candidates as binary matrices, applying BPSO for global exploration, followed by ABC-based local search triggered dynamically by stagnation detection or iteration thresholds. The system preserves elite solutions across iterations to ensure convergence quality and operational efficiency in container-to-fog-node mappings. to 7."
