  • Edge computing is a technology that can prepare for a new era of cloud computing. Edge computing is not a remote data center where data is processed and computed, but low-latency/high-speed computing is realized by adding computing power and data processing power to the edge side close to an access point such as a terminal device or a gateway. It is possible. The types of edge computing include mobile edge computing, fog computing, and cloudlet computing. In this article, we describes existing open source platforms for implementing edge computing nodes. By presenting and comparing the structure, features of open source edge platforms, it is possible to acquire knowledge required to select the best edge platform for industrial engineers who want to build an edge node using an actual open source edge computing platform.

  • We propose a two-tier cooperative computing system comprised of a mobile device and an edge server for partial offloading of multi-branch structures in Fog/Edge Computing environments in this paper. The proposed system includes an algorithm for splitting up application service processing by using reconstructive linearization techniques for multi-branch structures, as well as an optimal collaboration algorithm based on partial offloading between mobile device and edge server. Furthermore, we formulate computation offloading and CNN layer scheduling as latency minimization problems and simulate the effectiveness of the proposed system. As a result of the experiment, the proposed algorithm is suitable for both DAG and chain topology, adapts well to different network conditions, and provides efficient task processing strategies and processing time when compared to local or edge-only executions. Furthermore, the proposed system can be used to conduct research on the optimization of the model for the optimal execution of application services on mobile devices and the efficient distribution of edge resource workloads.

  • As cloud computing and the Internet of things are getting popular, the number of devices in the Internet of things computing environments is increasing. In addition, there exist various Internet-based applications, such as home automation and healthcare. In turn, existing studies explored the quality of service, such as downtime and reliability of tasks for Internet of things applications. To enhance the quality of service of Internet of things applications, cloud-fog computing (combining cloud computing and edge computing) can be used for offloading burdens from the central cloud server to edge servers. However, when devices inherit the mobility property, continuity and the quality of service of Internet of things applications can be reduced. In this paper, we propose a resource management scheme based on live migrations for mobility support in edge-based fog computing environments. The proposed resource management algorithm is based on the mobility direction and pace to predict the expected position, and migrates tasks to the target edge server. The performance results show that our proposed resource management algorithm improves the reliability of tasks and reduces downtime of services.

  • This paper is a prior study to improve the efficiency of offloading based on mobile agents to optimize allocation of computing resources and reduce latency that support user proximity of application services in a Fog/Edge Computing (FEC) environment. We propose an algorithm that effectively reduces the execution time and the amount of memory required when extracting optimal moving patterns from the vast set of spatio-temporal movement history data of moving objects. The proposed algorithm can be useful for the distribution and deployment of computing resources for computation offloading in future FEC environments through frequency-based optimal path extraction.

  • Cloud computing has been evolved to support edge computing architecture that combines fog management layer with edge servers. The main reason why it is received much attention is low communication latency for real-time IoT applications. At the same time, various cloud task scheduling techniques based on artificial intelligence have been proposed. Artificial intelligence-based cloud task scheduling techniques show better performance in comparison to existing methods, but it has relatively high scheduling time. In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based dynamic scheduling with multi-agents supporting scalability in edge computing environments. The proposed method shows low scheduling time than previous artificial intelligence-based scheduling techniques. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compare the performance between previous and proposed methods in a scalable experimental environment. The results show that our method supports real-time IoT applications with low scheduling time, and shows better performance in terms of the number of completed cloud tasks in a scalable experimental environment.

  • In the cloud computing environment, there has been a lot of research into the Fog/Edge Computing (FEC) paradigm for securing user proximity of application services and computation offloading to alleviate service delay difficulties. The method of predicting dynamic location change patterns of edge devices (moving objects) requesting application services is critical in this FEC environment for efficient computing resource distribution and deployment. This paper proposes an optimal moving pattern extraction algorithm in which variable weights (distance, time, congestion) are applied to selected paths in addition to a support factor threshold for frequency patterns (moving objects) of edge devices. The proposed algorithm is compared to the OPE_freq [8] algorithm, which just applies frequency, as well as the A* and Dijkstra algorithms, and it can be shown that the execution time and number of nodes accessed are reduced, and a more accurate path is extracted through experiments.

  • The number of capabilities of Internet of Things (IoT) devices will exponentially grow over the next years. These devices may generate a vast amount of time-constrained data. In the context of IoT, data management should act as a layer between the objects and devices generating the data and the applications accessing the data for analysis purposes and services. In addition, most of IoT services will be content-centric rather than host centric to increase the data availability and the efficiency of data delivery. IoT will enable all the communication devices to be interconnected and make the data generated by or associated with devices or objects globally accessible. Also, fog computing keeps data and computation close to end users at the edge of network, and thus provides a new breed of applications and services to end users with low latency, high bandwidth, and geographically distributed. In this paper, we propose Edge-Fog cloud-based Hierarchical Data Delivery ($EFcHD^2$) method that effectively and reliably delivers IoT data to associated with IoT applications with ensuring time sensitivity. The proposed $EFcHD^2$ method stands on basis of fully decentralized hybrid of Edge and Fog compute cloud model, Edge-Fog cloud, and uses information-centric networking and bloom filters. In addition, it stores the replica of IoT data or the pre-processed feature data by edge node in the appropriate locations of Edge-Fog cloud considering the characteristic of IoT data: locality, size, time sensitivity and popularity. Then, the performance of $EFcHD^2$ method is evaluated through an analytical model, and is compared to fog server-based and Content-Centric Networking (CCN)-based data delivery methods.

  • In a dynamically changing time-varying network environment, the optimal moving pattern of edge devices can be applied to distributing computing resources to edge cloud servers or deploying new edge servers in the FEC(Fog/Edge Computing) environment. In addition, this can be used to build an environment capable of efficient computation offloading to alleviate latency problems, which are disadvantages of cloud computing. This paper proposes an algorithm to extract the optimal moving pattern by analyzing the moving path of multiple edge devices requiring application services in an arbitrary spatio-temporal environment based on frequency. A comparative experiment with A* and Dijkstra algorithms shows that the proposed algorithm uses a relatively fast execution time and less memory, and extracts a more accurate optimal path. Furthermore, it was deduced from the comparison result with the A* algorithm that applying weights (preference, congestion, etc.) simultaneously with frequency can increase path extraction accuracy.
