PADL: a Language for the Operationalization of Distributed Analytical Pipelines over Edge/Fog Computing Environments

As Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices are becoming increasingly popular in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the orchestration and management of numerous fog devices encounter a scalability problem. In fog computing environments, to embrace various types of computation, cloud virtualization technology is widely used. With virtualization technology, IoT and IIoT tasks can be run on virtual machines or containers, which are able to migrate from one machine to another. However, efficient and scalable orchestration of migrations for mobile users and devices in fog computing environments is not an easy task. Naïve or unmanaged migrations may impinge on the reliability of cloud tasks. In this paper, we propose a scalable fog computing orchestration mechanism for reliable cloud task scheduling. The proposed scalable orchestration mechanism considers live migrations of virtual machines and containers for the edge servers to reduce both cloud task failures and suspended time when a device is disconnected due to mobility. The performance evaluation shows that our proposed fog computing orchestration is scalable while preserving the reliability of cloud tasks.

Because the Internet of things (IoT) and fog computing are prevalent, an efficient resource consolidation scheme in nanoscale computing environments is urgently needed. In nanoscale environments, a great many small devices collaborate to achieve a predefined goal. The representative case would be the edge cloud, where small computing servers are deployed close to the cloud users to enhance the responsiveness and reduce turnaround time. In this paper, we propose an intelligent and cost-efficient resource consolidation algorithm in nanoscale computing environments. The proposed algorithm is designed to predict nanoscale devices’ scheduling decisions and perform the resource consolidation that reconfigures cloud resources dynamically when needed without interrupting and disconnecting the cloud user. Because of the large number of nanoscale devices in the system, we developed an efficient resource consolidation algorithm in terms of complexity and employed the hidden Markov model to predict the devices’ scheduling decision. The performance evaluation shows that our resource consolidation algorithm is effective for predicting the devices’ scheduling decisions and efficiency in terms of overhead cost and complexity.
