Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is an interesting technology aimed at providing various processing and storage resources at the edge of the Internet of things (IoT) networks. However, MECs contain limited resources, and they should be managed effectively to improve resource utilization. Workflow scheduling is a process that tries to map the workflow tasks to the most proper set of computing resources regarding some objectives. For this purpose, this paper presents DBOA, a discrete version of the Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) that applies the Levy flight to improve its convergence speed and prevent the local optima problem. Then, DBOA is applied for DVFS-based data-intensive workflow scheduling and data placement in MEC environments. This scheme also employs the HEFT algorithm's task prioritization method to find the task execution order in the scientific workflows. For evaluating the performance of the proposed scheduling scheme, extensive simulations are conducted on various well-known scientific workflows with different sizes. The obtained experimental results indicate that this method can outperform other algorithms regarding energy consumption, data access overheads, etc.
