Abstract: This paper proposes an integrated algorithm to optimize the deployment of edge servers and cloud data centers in agricultural Internet of Things (IoT) networks. First, the K-medoids algorithm is employed to cluster data collection terminals and thereby initialize edge-server locations. A greedy algorithm with local refinement is then used to supplement coverage in previously uncovered areas. Subsequently, a gravitational search algorithm optimizes global server placement. The method achieves near-optimal deployment while guaranteeing full coverage. Real-world constraints are also incorporated by modeling forbidden zones, such as lakes, roads, and restricted areas, that must be avoided during infrastructure placement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
