    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024-02) Nandhakumar, Aadharsh Roshan; Baranwal, Ayush; Choudhary, Priyanshukumar; Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal Singh
    To meet next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) application demands, edge computing moves processing power and storage closer to the network edge to minimize latency and bandwidth utilization. Edge computing is becoming increasingly popular as a result of these benefits, but it comes with challenges such as managing resources efficiently. Researchers are utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to solve the challenge of resource management in edge computing systems. However, existing simulation tools are only concerned with typical resource management policies, not the adoption and implementation of AI models for resource management, especially. Consequently, researchers continue to face significant challenges, making it hard and time-consuming to use AI models when designing novel resource management policies for edge computing with existing simulation tools. To overcome these issues, we propose a lightweight Python-based toolkit called EdgeAISim for the simulation and modelling of AI models for designing resource management policies in edge computing environments. In EdgeAISim, we extended the basic components of the EdgeSimPy framework and developed new AI-based simulation models for task scheduling, energy management, service migration, network flow scheduling, and mobility support for edge computing environments. In EdgeAISim, we have utilized advanced AI models such as Multi-Armed Bandit with Upper Confidence Bound, Deep Q-Networks, Deep Q-Networks with Graphical Neural Network, and Actor-Critic Network to optimize power usage while efficiently managing task migration within the edge computing environment. The performance of these proposed models of EdgeAISim is compared with the baseline, which uses a worst-fit algorithm-based resource management policy in different settings. Experimental results indicate that EdgeAISim exhibits a substantial reduction in power consumption, highlighting the compelling success of power optimization strategies in EdgeAISim. The development of EdgeAISim represents a promising step towards sustainable edge computing, providing eco-friendly and energy-efficient solutions that facilitate efficient task management in edge environments for different large-scale scenarios. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    (Elsevier, 2021-04) Faheem, Muhammad; Fizza, Ghulam; Ashraf, Muhammad Waqar; Butt, Rizwan Aslam; Ngadi, Md. Asri; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    Smart Grid Industry 4.0 (SGI4.0) defines a new paradigm to provide high-quality electricity at a low cost by reacting quickly and effectively to changing energy demands in the highly volatile global markets. However, in SGI4.0, the reliable and efficient gathering and transmission of the observed information from the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled Cyberphysical systems, such as sensors located in remote places to the control center is the biggest challenge for the Industrial Multichannel Wireless Sensors Networks (IMWSNs). This is due to the harsh nature of the smart grid environment that causes high noise, signal fading, multipath effects, heat, and electromagnetic interference, which reduces the transmission quality and trigger errors in the IMWSNs. Thus, an efficient monitoring and real-time control of unexpected changes in the power generation and distribution processes is essential to guarantee the quality of service (QoS) re-quirements in the smart grid. In this context, this paper de-scribes the dataset contains measurements acquired by the IMWSNs during events monitoring and control in the smart grid. This work provides an updated detail comparison of our proposed work, including channel detection, channel assign-ment, and packets forwarding algorithms, collectively called CARP [1] with existing G-RPL [2] and EQSHC [3] schemes in the smart grid. The experimental outcomes show that the dataset and is useful for the design, development, testing, and validation of algorithms for real-time events monitoring and control applications in the smart grid.

    ATOM: AI-Powered Sustainable Resource Management for Serverless Edge Computing Environments
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2024-11) Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Cuadrado, Felix; Parlikad, Ajith Kumar; Xu, Minxian; Wu, Huaming; Uhlig, Steve
    Serverless edge computing decreases unnecessary resource usage on end devices with limited processing power and storage capacity. Despite its benefits, serverless edge computing's zero scalability is the major source of the cold start delay, which is yet unsolved. This latency is unacceptable for time-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications like autonomous cars. Most existing approaches need containers to idle and use extra computing resources. Edge devices have fewer resources than cloud-based systems, requiring new sustainable solutions. Therefore, we propose an AI-powered, sustainable resource management framework called ATOM for serverless edge computing. ATOM utilizes a deep reinforcement learning model to predict exactly when cold start latency will happen. We create a cold start dataset using a heart disease risk scenario and deploy using Google Cloud Functions. To demonstrate the superiority of ATOM, its performance is compared with two different baselines, which use the warm-start containers and a two-layer adaptive approach. The experimental results showed that although the ATOM required more calculation time of 118.76 seconds, it performed better in predicting cold start than baseline models with an RMSE ratio of 148.76. Additionally, the energy consumption and CO2 emission amount of these models are evaluated and compared for the training and prediction phases.

    AI-Based Fog and Edge Computing: A Systematic Review, Taxonomy and Future Directions
    (Elsevier, 2023-04) Iftikhar, Sundas; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Song, Chenghao; Xu, Minxian; Aslanpour, Mohammad Sadegh; Toosi, Adel N.; Uhlig, Steve
    Resource management in computing is a very challenging problem that involves making sequential decisions. Resource limitations, resource heterogeneity, dynamic and diverse nature of workload, and the unpredictability of fog/edge computing environments have made resource management even more challenging to be considered in the fog landscape. Recently Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) based solutions are adopted to solve this problem. AI/ML methods with the capability to make sequential decisions like reinforcement learning seem most promising for these type of problems. But these algorithms come with their own challenges such as high variance, explainability, and online training. The continuously changing fog/edge environment dynamics require solutions that learn online, adopting changing computing environment. In this paper, we used standard review methodology to conduct this Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to analyze the role of AI/ML algorithms and the challenges in the applicability of these algorithms for resource management in fog/edge computing environments. Further, various machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning techniques for edge AI management have been discussed. Furthermore, we have presented the background and current status of AI/ML-based Fog/Edge Computing. Moreover, a taxonomy of AI/ML-based resource management techniques for fog/edge computing has been proposed and compared the existing techniques based on the proposed taxonomy. Finally, open challenges and promising future research directions have been identified and discussed in the area of AI/ML-based fog/edge computing.

    A Multiobjective, Lion Mating Optimization Inspired Routing Protocol for Wireless Body Area Sensor Network Based Healthcare Applications
    (MDPI, 2019-11-20) Faheem, Muhammad; Butt, Rizwan Aslam; Raza, Basit; Alquhayz, Hani; Abbas, Muhammad Zahid; Ngadi, Md Asri; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    The importance of body area sensor networks (BASNs) is increasing day by day because of their increasing use in Internet of things (IoT)-enabled healthcare application services. They help humans in improving their quality of life by continuously monitoring various vital signs through biosensors strategically placed on the human body. However, BASNs face serious challenges, in terms of the short life span of their batteries and unreliable data transmission, because of the highly unstable and unpredictable channel conditions of tiny biosensors located on the human body. These factors may result in poor data gathering quality in BASNs. Therefore, a more reliable data transmission mechanism is greatly needed in order to gather quality data in BASN-based healthcare applications. Therefore, this study proposes a novel, multiobjective, lion mating optimization inspired routing protocol, called self-organizing multiobjective routing protocol (SARP), for BASN-based IoT healthcare applications. The proposed routing scheme significantly reduces local search problems and finds the best dynamic cluster-based routing solutions between the source and destination in BASNs. Thus, it significantly improves the overall packet delivery rate, residual energy, and throughput with reduced latency and packet error rates in BASNs. Extensive simulation results validate the performance of our proposed SARP scheme against the existing routing protocols in terms of the packet delivery ratio, latency, packet error rate, throughput, and energy efficiency for BASN-based health monitoring applications.
