Since companies have increasingly used cloud services for their businesses, security risks are important issues for their business success. The paper presents the understanding of cloud computing and risk management in the cloud. For managing cloud risks, three risk management approaches are introduced.. This paper will give some inferences that companies choose the best cloud network to enhance their businesses and use the appropriate risk management approach to mitigate their risks within the cloud environment.

With the increase of Internet of vehicles (IoVs) traffic, the contradiction between a large number of computing tasks and limited computing resources has become increasingly prominent. Although many existing studies have been proposed to solve this problem, their main consideration is to achieve different optimization goals in the case of edge offloading in static scenarios. Since realistic scenarios are complicated and generally time-varying, these studies in static scenes are imperfect. In this paper, we consider a collaborative computation offloading in a time-varying edge-cloud network, and we formulate an optimization problem with considering both delay constraints and resource constraints, aiming to minimize the long-term system cost. Since the set of feasible solutions to the problem is nonconvex, and the complexity of the problem is very large, we propose a Q-learning-based approach to solve the optimization problem. In addition, due to the dimensional catastrophes, we further propose a DQN-based approach to solve the optimization problem. Finally, by comparing our two proposed algorithms with typical algorithms, the simulation results show that our proposed approaches achieve better performance. Under the same conditions, by comparing our two proposed algorithms with typical algorithms, the simulation results show that our proposed Q-learning-based method reduces the system cost by about 49% and 42% compared to typical algorithms. And in the same case, compared with the classical two schemes, our proposed DQN-based scheme reduces the system cost by 62% and 57%.

The intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is a ground-breaking technology that can boost the efficiency of wireless data transmission systems. Specifically, the wireless signal transmitting environment is reconfigured by adjusting a large number of small reflecting units simultaneously. Therefore, intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has been suggested as a possible solution for improving several aspects of future wireless communication. However, individual nodes are empowered in IRS, but decisions and learning of data are still made by the centralized node in the IRS mechanism. Whereas, in previous works, the problem of energy-efficient and delayed awareness learning IRS-assisted communications has been largely overlooked. The federated learning aware Intelligent Reconfigurable Surface Task Scheduling schemes (FL-IRSTS) algorithm is proposed in this paper to achieve high-speed communication with energy and delay efficient offloading and scheduling. The training of models is divided into different nodes. Therefore, the trained model will decide the IRSTS configuration that best meets the goals in terms of communication rate. Multiple local models trained with the local healthcare fog-cloud network for each workload using federated learning (FL) to generate a global model. Then, each trained model shared its initial configuration with the global model for the next training round. Each application’s healthcare data is handled and processed locally during the training process. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm’s achievable rate output can effectively approach centralized machine learning (ML) while meeting the study’s energy and delay objectives.

Abstract In the current era of the Internet of Things (IoT), various devices can provide more services by connecting to the Internet. However, the explosive growth of connected devices will cause the cloud core overload and significant network delays. To overcome these problems, the Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) network is proposed to provide most of the computing and storage near the radio access network to reduce the traffic of the core cloud network and provide lower latency for the terminal.Mobile edge computing can work with third parties to develop multiple services, such as mobile big data analysis and context-aware services. However, when there is a large amount of popular data accessed in a short period, the system must generate many replicas, which will not only reduce access efficiency but also cause additional traffic overhead. To improve the above problems, an Adaptive Replica Configuration Mechanism (ARCM) is proposed in this paper to predict the popularity of the file and make a replica to the low-blocking node. This method spreads the subsequent access workload by copying the popular file in advance to improve the overall performance of the system.

In traditional cloud computing research, it is often considered that the network resources between edge devices and cloud platform are sufficient, and the symmetry between the upward link from edge devices to the cloud platform and the downward link from cloud platform to edge devices is definite. However, in many application scenarios, the network resources between edge devices and cloud platform might be limited, and the link symmetry may not be guaranteed. To solve this problem, network relay nodes are introduced to realize the data transmission between edge devices and the cloud platform. The environment in which network relay nodes that can cooperate with the cloud platform is called cloud network collaborative environment (CNCE). In CNCE, how to optimize data transmission from edge devices to cloud platform through relay nodes has become one of the most important research topics. In this paper, we focus on the following two influencing factors that previous studies ignored: (1) the multi-link and multi-constraint transmission process; and (2) the timely resource state of the relay node. Taking these factors into consideration, we design a novel data transmission scheduling algorithm, called ant colony based transmission scheduling approach (ACTS). First, we propose a multi-link optimization mechanism to optimize the constraint limits. This mechanism divides the transmission into two links called the downlink relay link and uplink relay link. For the downlink relay link, we use the store-and-forward method for the optimization. For the uplink relay link, we use the min–min method for the optimization. We use the ant colony algorithm for the overall optimization of the two links. Finally, we improve the pheromone update rule of the ant colony algorithm to avoid the algorithm from falling into a local optimum. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed approach has better results in transmission efficiency than other advanced algorithms.
