A Game-Theoretic Based QoS-Aware Capacity Management for Real-Time EdgeIoT Applications
More and more real-time IoT applications such as smart cities or autonomous vehicles require big data analytics with reduced latencies. However, data streams produced from distributed sensing devices may not suffice to be processed traditionally in the remote cloud due to: (i) longer Wide Area Network (WAN) latencies and (ii) limited resources held by a single Cloud. To solve this problem, a novel Software-Defined Network (SDN) based InterCloud architecture is presented for mobile edge computing environments, known as EdgeIoT. An adaptive resource capacity management approach is proposed to employ a policy-based QoS control framework using principles in coalition games with externalities. To optimise resource capacity policy, the proposed QoS management technique solves, adaptively, a lexicographic ordering bi-criteria Coalition Structure Generation (CSG) problem. It is an onerous task to guarantee in a deterministic way that a real-time EdgeIoT application satisfies low latency requirement specified in Service Level Agreements (SLA). CloudSim 4.0 toolkit is used to simulate an SDN-based InterCloud scenario, and the empirical results suggest that the proposed approach can adapt, from an operational perspective, to ensure low latency QoS for real-time EdgeIoT application instances
FaaS: Federation-as-a-Service
This document is the main high-level architecture specification of the
SUNFISH cloud federation solution. Its main objective is to introduce the
concept of Federation-as-a-Service (FaaS) and the SUNFISH platform. FaaS is the
new and innovative cloud federation service proposed by the SUNFISH project.
The document defines the functionalities of FaaS, its governance and precise
objectives. With respect to these objectives, the document proposes the
high-level architecture of the SUNFISH platform: the software architecture that
permits realising a FaaS federation. More specifically, the document describes
all the components forming the platform, the offered functionalities and their
high-level interactions underlying the main FaaS functionalities. The document
concludes by outlining the main implementation strategies towards the actual
implementation of the proposed cloud federation solution.Comment: Technical Report Edited by Francesco Paolo Schiavo, Vladimiro
