Intelligent and efficient container placement in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is challenging subjected to user mobility, and surplus but heterogeneous computing resources. One solution to constantly altering user location is to relocate containers closer to the user; however, this leads to additional underutilized active nodes and increases migration's computational overhead. On the contrary, few to no migrations are attributed to higher latency, thus degrading the Quality of Service (QoS). To tackle these challenges, we created a framework named EdgeBus(1), which enables the co-simulation of container resource management in heterogeneous MEC environments based on Kubernetes. It enables the assessment of the impact of container migrations on resource management, energy, and latency. Further, we propose a mobility and migration cost-aware (MANGO) lightweight scheduler for efficient container management by incorporating migration cost, CPU cores, and memory usage for container scheduling. For user mobility, the Cabspotting dataset is employed, which contains real-world traces of taxi mobility in San Francisco. In the EdgeBus framework, we have created a simulated environment aided with a real-world testbed using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to measure the performance of the MANGO scheduler in comparison to baseline schedulers such as IMPALA-based MobileKube, Latency Greedy, and Binpacking. Finally, extensive experiments have been conducted, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the MANGO in terms of latency and number of migrations.Article Citation - Scopus: 49EdgeAISim: A Toolkit for Simulation and Modelling of AI Models in Edge Computing Environments(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-02) Nandhakumar, Aadharsh Roshan; Baranwal, Ayush; Choudhary, Priyanshukumar; Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal SinghTo 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.Article Citation - WoS: 85Citation - Scopus: 140Edge AI: A Taxonomy, Systematic Review and Future Directions(Springer, 2024-10-18) Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Golec, Muhammed; Hu, Jianmin; Xu, Minxian; Du, Junhui; Wu, Huaming; Uhlig, SteveEdge Artificial Intelligence (AI) incorporates a network of interconnected systems and devices that receive, cache, process, and analyse data in close communication with the location where the data is captured with AI technology. Recent advancements in AI efficiency, the widespread use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the emergence of edge computing have unlocked the enormous scope of Edge AI. The goal of Edge AI is to optimize data processing efficiency and velocity while ensuring data confidentiality and integrity. Despite being a relatively new field of research, spanning from 2014 to the present, it has shown significant and rapid development over the last five years. In this article, we present a systematic literature review for Edge AI to discuss the existing research, recent advancements, and future research directions. We created a collaborative edge AI learning system for cloud and edge computing analysis, including an in-depth study of the architectures that facilitate this mechanism. The taxonomy for Edge AI facilitates the classification and configuration of Edge AI systems while also examining its potential influence across many fields through compassing infrastructure, cloud computing, fog computing, services, use cases, ML and deep learning, and resource management. This study highlights the significance of Edge AI in processing real-time data at the edge of the network. Additionally, it emphasizes the research challenges encountered by Edge AI systems, including constraints on resources, vulnerabilities to security threats, and problems with scalability. Finally, this study highlights the potential future research directions that aim to address the current limitations of Edge AI by providing innovative solutions.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 22ATOM: 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, SteveServerless 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.Article Citation - WoS: 130Citation - Scopus: 218AI-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, SteveResource 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.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 35A Review of On-Device Machine Learning for IoT: An Energy Perspective(Elsevier, 2024-02) Tekin, Nazli; Aris, Ahmet; Acar, Abbas; Uluagac, Selcuk; Gungor, Vehbi CagriRecently, there has been a substantial interest in on-device Machine Learning (ML) models to provide intelligence for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as image classification, human activity recognition, and anomaly detection. Traditionally, ML models are deployed in the cloud or centralized servers to take advantage of their abundant computational resources. However, sharing data with the cloud and third parties degrades privacy and may cause propagation delay in the network due to a large amount of transmitted data impacting the performance of real-time applications. To this end, deploying ML models on-device (i.e., on IoT devices), in which data does not need to be transmitted, becomes imperative. However, deploying and running ML models on already resource-constrained IoT devices is challenging and requires intense energy consumption. Numerous works have been proposed in the literature to address this issue. Although there are considerable works that discuss energy-aware ML approaches for on-device implementation, there remains a gap in the literature on a comprehensive review of this subject. In this paper, we provide a review of existing studies focusing on-device ML models for IoT applications in terms of energy consumption. One of the key contributions of this study is to introduce a taxonomy to define approaches for employing energy-aware on-device ML models on IoT devices in the literature. Based on our review in this paper, our key findings are provided and the open issues that can be investigated further by other researchers are discussed. We believe that this study will be a reference for practitioners and researchers who want to employ energy-aware on-device ML models for IoT applications.
