Abstract To support the explosive growth of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) provides users with low latency and high bandwidth service by offloading computational tasks to the network’s edge. However, resource-constrained mobile devices still suffer from a capacity mismatch when faced with latency-sensitive and compute-intensive emerging applications. To address the difficulty of running computationally intensive applications on resource-constrained clients, a model of the computation offloading problem in a network consisting of multiple mobile users and edge cloud servers is studied in this paper. Then a user benefit function EoU (Experience of Users) is… More >

Abstract Video prediction is the problem of generating future frames by exploiting the spatiotemporal correlation from the past frame sequence. It is one of the crucial issues in computer vision and has many real-world applications, mainly focused on predicting future scenarios to avoid undesirable outcomes. However, modeling future image content and object is challenging due to the dynamic evolution and complexity of the scene, such as occlusions, camera movements, delay and illumination. Direct frame synthesis or optical-flow estimation are common approaches used by researchers. However, researchers mainly focused on video prediction using one of the approaches.… More >

Abstract Energy sustainability is a hot topic in both scientific and political circles. To date, two alternative approaches to this issue are being taken. Some people believe that increasing power consumption is necessary for countries’ economic and social progress, while others are more concerned with maintaining carbon consumption under set limitations. To establish a secure, sustainable, and economical energy system while mitigating the consequences of climate change, most governments are currently pushing renewable growth policies. Energy markets are meant to provide consumers with dependable electricity at the lowest possible cost. A profit-maximization optimal decision model is… More >
