| Abstract: | Offering a promising solution for latency-sensitive and resource-constrained internet of things (IoT) applications, mobile edge computing (MEC) extends cloud capabilities to the network edge. However, the decentralized nature of edge resources, coupled with stringent latency requirements and IoT energy constraints, presents significant challenges for efficient task offloading. Integrating IoT with MEC and software-defined networking (SDN) can meet the growing demands for low latency and energy-aware resource management. This paper proposes a hybrid evolutionary algorithm combining whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) with crossover, mutation, and Lévy flight operators (CML) to balance exploration and exploitation. The algorithm minimizes a weighted sum function (energy 35%, delay 35%, and monetary cost 30%) for joint task offloading and resource allocation in SDN-enabled MEC environments. The proposed approach is evaluated against six well-known metaheuristics, analyzing performance across various metrics including scalability with up to 100 users. Experimental results, validated by nonparametric statistical tests, demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves statistically significant improvements in convergence speed, solution quality, and scalability, making it a robust and promising candidate for real-time MEC task scheduling.
