Research Area:  Edge Computing

Abstract:

With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile terminals, the concept of edge computing arises. By moving the computation and storage capacity to the edge of network, edge computing is able to deal with a large amount of data produced by IoT devices and the responsive request from IoT application. To improve the utility of edge resource, the quality of service and quality of user experience, resource allocation and task scheduling optimization problems under edge computing attract wide attention. It becomes more difficult due to the geographic separated and heterogeneous features of edge computing resource as well as the requirements of performance, energy consumption, cost and stability and introduces the system models of edge computing, IoT and cloud computing, presents the optimization metrics, scheduling models and solution optimization, including exact algorithms, heuristic methods and intelligent optimization algorithms. In addition, typical application cases, and points out the further research contents and directions are provided to promote the development of edge computing.
