Evolution of IoT devices and smart environments are certainly pushing the demand of fog computing paradigm. Fog layer brings the computation and processing nearer to the IoT devices. It can reduce the latency and requests could be served quickly. Fog layer offers fog nodes and servers that are often resource constrained, hence the need of effective resource management arises. Effective scheduling of the tasks generated through IoT layer is the key factor in achieving optimized resource management. This paper has tried to represent various effective task scheduling approaches evolved in the recent time. A differentiating summary of various task-scheduling approaches based on various parameters and their performance is presented. It is followed by the description of performance metrics used for validating the proposed schemes and various research directions for potential researchers.
