JALAD: Joint Accuracy- and Latency-Aware Deep Structure Decoupling for Edge-Cloud Execution
Recent years have witnessed a rapid growth of deep-network based services and
applications. A practical and critical problem thus has emerged: how to
effectively deploy the deep neural network models such that they can be
executed efficiently. Conventional cloud-based approaches usually run the deep
models in data center servers, causing large latency because a significant
amount of data has to be transferred from the edge of network to the data
center. In this paper, we propose JALAD, a joint accuracy- and latency-aware
execution framework, which decouples a deep neural network so that a part of it
will run at edge devices and the other part inside the conventional cloud,
while only a minimum amount of data has to be transferred between them. Though
the idea seems straightforward, we are facing challenges including i) how to
find the best partition of a deep structure; ii) how to deploy the component at
an edge device that only has limited computation power; and iii) how to
minimize the overall execution latency. Our answers to these questions are a
set of strategies in JALAD, including 1) A normalization based in-layer data
compression strategy by jointly considering compression rate and model
accuracy; 2) A latency-aware deep decoupling strategy to minimize the overall
execution latency; and 3) An edge-cloud structure adaptation strategy that
dynamically changes the decoupling for different network conditions.
Experiments demonstrate that our solution can significantly reduce the
execution latency: it speeds up the overall inference execution with a
guaranteed model accuracy loss.Comment: conference, copyright transfered to IEE
Service Migration from Cloud to Multi-tier Fog Nodes for Multimedia Dissemination with QoE Support.
A wide range of multimedia services is expected to be offered for mobile users via various wireless access networks. Even the integration of Cloud Computing in such networks does not support an adequate Quality of Experience (QoE) in areas with high demands for multimedia contents. Fog computing has been conceptualized to facilitate the deployment of new services that cloud computing cannot provide, particularly those demanding QoE guarantees. These services are provided using fog nodes located at the network edge, which is capable of virtualizing their functions/applications. Service migration from the cloud to fog nodes can be actuated by request patterns and the timing issues. To the best of our knowledge, existing works on fog computing focus on architecture and fog node deployment issues. In this article, we describe the operational impacts and benefits associated with service migration from the cloud to multi-tier fog computing for video distribution with QoE support. Besides that, we perform the evaluation of such service migration of video services. Finally, we present potential research challenges and trends
DESIGN FRAMEWORK FOR INTERNET OF THINGS BASED NEXT GENERATION VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
Modern artificial intelligence and machine learning opens up new era towards video
surveillance system. Next generation video surveillance in Internet of Things (IoT) environment is
an emerging research area because of high bandwidth, big-data generation, resource constraint
video surveillance node, high energy consumption for real time applications. In this thesis, various
opportunities and functional requirements that next generation video surveillance system should
achieve with the power of video analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning are
discussed. This thesis also proposes a new video surveillance system architecture introducing fog
computing towards IoT based system and contributes the facilities and benefits of proposed system
which can meet the forthcoming requirements of surveillance. Different challenges and issues
faced for video surveillance in IoT environment and evaluate fog-cloud integrated architecture to
penetrate and eliminate those issues.
The focus of this thesis is to evaluate the IoT based video surveillance system. To this end,
two case studies were performed to penetrate values towards energy and bandwidth efficient video
surveillance system. In one case study, an IoT-based power efficient color frame transmission and
generation algorithm for video surveillance application is presented. The conventional way is to
transmit all R, G and B components of all frames. Using proposed technique, instead of sending
all components, first one color frame is sent followed by a series of gray-scale frames. After a
certain number of gray-scale frames, another color frame is sent followed by the same number of
gray-scale frames. This process is repeated for video surveillance system. In the decoder, color
information is formulated from the color frame and then used to colorize the gray-scale frames. In
another case study, a bandwidth efficient and low complexity frame reproduction technique that is
also applicable in IoT based video surveillance application is presented. Using the second
technique, only the pixel intensity that differs heavily comparing to previous frame’s
corresponding pixel is sent. If the pixel intensity is similar or near similar comparing to the
previous frame, the information is not transferred. With this objective, the bit stream is created for
every frame with a predefined protocol. In cloud side, the frame information can be reproduced by
implementing the reverse protocol from the bit stream.
Experimental results of the two case studies show that the IoT-based proposed approach
gives better results than traditional techniques in terms of both energy efficiency and quality of the video, and therefore, can enable sensor nodes in IoT to perform more operations with energy
constraints
SMCP: a Secure Mobile Crowdsensing Protocol for fog-based applications
The possibility of performing complex data analysis through sets of cooperating personal smart devices has recently encouraged the definition of new distributed computing paradigms. The general idea behind these approaches is to move early analysis towards the edge of the network, while relying on other intermediate (fog) or remote (cloud) devices for computations of increasing complexity. Unfortunately, because both of their distributed nature and high degree of modularity, edge-fog-cloud computing systems are particularly prone to cyber security attacks that can be performed against every element of the infrastructure. In order to address this issue, in this paper we present SMCP, a Secure Mobile Crowdsensing Protocol for fog-based applications that exploit lightweight encryption techniques that are particularly suited for low-power mobile edge devices. In order to assess the performance of the proposed security mechanisms, we consider as case study a distributed human activity recognition scenario in which machine learning algorithms are performed by users’ personal smart devices at the edge and fog layers. The functionalities provided by SMCP have been directly compared with two state-of-the-art security protocols. Results show that our approach allows to achieve a higher degree of security while maintaining a low computational cost
A Comprehensive Survey on the Cooperation of Fog Computing Paradigm-Based IoT Applications: Layered Architecture, Real-Time Security Issues, and Solutions
The Internet of Things (IoT) can enable seamless communication between millions of billions of objects. As IoT applications continue to grow, they face several challenges, including high latency, limited processing and storage capacity, and network failures. To address these stated challenges, the fog computing paradigm has been introduced, purpose is to integrate the cloud computing paradigm with IoT to bring the cloud resources closer to the IoT devices. Thus, it extends the computing, storage, and networking facilities toward the edge of the network. However, data processing and storage occur at the IoT devices themselves in the fog-based IoT network, eliminating the need to transmit the data to the cloud. Further, it also provides a faster response as compared to the cloud. Unfortunately, the characteristics of fog-based IoT networks arise traditional real-time security challenges, which may increase severe concern to the end-users. However, this paper aims to focus on fog-based IoT communication, targeting real-time security challenges. In this paper, we examine the layered architecture of fog-based IoT networks along working of IoT applications operating within the context of the fog computing paradigm. Moreover, we highlight real-time security challenges and explore several existing solutions proposed to tackle these challenges. In the end, we investigate the research challenges that need to be addressed and explore potential future research directions that should be followed by the research community.©2023 The Authors.
