Abstract Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is proposed to solve the needs of Internet of Things (IoT) users for high resource utilization, high reliability and low latency of service requests. However, the backup virtual machine is idle when its primary virtual machine is running normally, which will waste resources. Overbooking the backup virtual machine under the above circumstances can effectively improve resource utilization. First, these virtual machines are deployed into slots randomly, and then some tasks with cooperative relationship are offloaded to virtual machines for processing. Different deployment locations have different resource utilization and average service response… More >

Abstract In a cloud environment, consumers search for the best service provider that accomplishes the required tasks based on a set of criteria such as completion time and cost. On the other hand, Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) seek to maximize their profits by attracting and serving more consumers based on their resource capabilities. The literature has discussed the problem by considering either consumers’ needs or CSPs’ capabilities. A problem resides in the lack of explicit models that combine preferences of consumers with the capabilities of CSPs to provide a unified process for resource allocation and task… More >

Abstract With the rapid development and popularization of 5G and the Internet of Things, a number of new applications have emerged, such as driverless cars. Most of these applications are time-delay sensitive, and some deficiencies were found during data processing through the cloud centric architecture. The data generated by terminals at the edge of the network is an urgent problem to be solved at present. In 5 g environments, edge computing can better meet the needs of low delay and wide connection applications, and support the fast request of terminal users. However, edge computing only has the… More >
