Fog and Edge Computing: Challenges and Emerging Trends (Invited Talk)

Authors: Rodrigo N. Calheiros


Abstract
Just as the trend of data and computing consolidation via cloud computing starts to fade out, new paradigms that can better handle the unique demand of Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data emerged in the form of edge and fog computing. Although the literature provides different accounts for the differences between these emerging paradigms, they both rely on computing and storage devices that are closer to IoT devices and users than regular cloud data centers. With the advantage of smaller latencies, they introduce issues such as higher complexity for application development and deployment. In this talk, I will present the context in which these paradigms developed, challenges inhibiting their adoption, and emerging approaches to address some of these issues.

From Vehicular Networks to IoT for Smart Roads: How a Communication Engineer Can Help Solve Transportation Problems (Invited Talk)

Authors: Guoqiang Mao


Abstract
Intelligent transportation system (ITS) is an important development that applies advanced sensing, communication, big data analysis and control technologies to ground transportation in order to improve safety, mobility and efficiency. This talk will begin with a brief introduction to our work in vehicular networks, which started more than ten years ago. As we delve deeper into vehicular networks and interact more frequently with transportation stakeholders, we realize that ITS is a truly cross-disciplinary area, in order for vehicular networks to achieve its desired impact, we need to think beyond the traditional communication domain, and start to ponder the deeper-level questions of what fundamental changes can be brought by advanced sensing and communication techniques to transportation and how the applications of advanced sensing and communication techniques can help solve crucial transportation problems. To this end, we will introduce our more recent work of developing advanced IoT technology to transform our roads into smart roads, which in the shorter term, make our roads safer and more efficient while providing the fine-grained real-time traffic information for traffic management; in the longer term, provide the much-needed road infrastructure support for the future booming CAV revolution.

Quality-Of-Control-Aware Scheduling of Communication in TSN-Based Fog Computing Platforms Using Constraint Programming

Authors: Mohammadreza Barzegaran, Bahram Zarrin, and Paul Pop


Abstract
In this paper we are interested in real-time control applications that are implemented using Fog Computing Platforms consisting of interconnected heterogeneous Fog Nodes (FNs). Similar to previous research and ongoing standardization efforts, we assume that the communication between FNs is achieved via IEEE 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). We model the control applications as a set of real-time streams, and we assume that the messages are transmitted using time-sensitive traffic that is scheduled using the Gate Control Lists (GCLs) in TSN. Given a network topology and a set of control applications, we are interested to synthesize the GCLs for messages such that the quality-of-control of applications is maximized and the deadlines of real-time messages are satisfied. We have proposed a Constraint Programming-based solution to this problem, and evaluated it on several test cases.

Processing LiDAR Data from a Virtual Logistics Space

Authors: Jaakko Harjuhahto, Anton Debner, and Vesa Hirvisalo


Abstract
We study computing solutions that can be used close to the network edge in I2oT systems (Industrial Internet of Things). As a specific use case, we consider a factory warehouse with AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles). The computing services for such systems should be dependable, yield high performance, and have low latency. For understanding such systems, we have constructed a hybrid system that consists of a simulator yielding virtual LiDAR sensor data streams in real-time and a sensor data processor on a real cluster that acts as a fog computing node close to the warehouse. The processing merges the observations done from the individual sensor streams without using the vehicle-to-vehicle communication links for the complicated computing. We present our experimental results, which show the feasibility of the computing solution.

Addressing the Node Discovery Problem in Fog Computing

Authors: Vasileios Karagiannis, Nitin Desai, Stefan Schulte, and Sasikumar Punnekkat


Abstract
In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has gained a lot of attention due to connecting various sensor devices with the cloud, in order to enable smart applications such as: smart traffic management, smart houses, and smart grids, among others. Due to the growing popularity of the IoT, the number of Internet-connected devices has increased significantly. As a result, these devices generate a huge amount of network traffic which may lead to bottlenecks, and eventually increase the communication latency with the cloud. To cope with such issues, a new computing paradigm has emerged, namely: fog computing. Fog computing enables computing that spans from the cloud to the edge of the network in order to distribute the computations of the IoT data, and to reduce the communication latency. However, fog computing is still in its infancy, and there are still related open problems. In this paper, we focus on the node discovery problem, i.e., how to add new compute nodes to a fog computing system. Moreover, we discuss how addressing this problem can have a positive impact on various aspects of fog computing, such as fault tolerance, resource heterogeneity, proximity awareness, and scalability. Finally, based on the experimental results that we produce by simulating various distributed compute nodes, we show how addressing the node discovery problem can improve the fault tolerance of a fog computing system.

Routing Using Safe Reinforcement Learning

Authors: Gautham Nayak Seetanadi and Karl-Erik Årzén


Abstract
The ever increasing number of connected devices has lead to a metoric rise in the amount data to be processed. This has caused computation to be moved to the edge of the cloud increasing the importance of efficiency in the whole of cloud. The use of this fog computing for time-critical control applications is on the rise and requires robust guarantees on transmission times of the packets in the network while reducing total transmission times of the various packets. We consider networks in which the transmission times that may vary due to mobility of devices, congestion and similar artifacts. We assume knowledge of the worst case tranmssion times over each link and evaluate the typical tranmssion times through exploration. We present the use of reinforcement learning to find optimal paths through the network while never violating preset deadlines. We show that with appropriate domain knowledge, using popular reinforcement learning techniques is a promising prospect even in time-critical applications.

Real-Time Containers: A Survey

Authors: Václav Struhár, Moris Behnam, Mohammad Ashjaei, and Alessandro V. Papadopoulos


Abstract
Container-based virtualization has gained a significant importance in a deployment of software applications in cloud-based environments. The technology fully relies on operating system features and does not require a virtualization layer (hypervisor) that introduces a performance degradation. Container-based virtualization allows to co-locate multiple isolated containers on a single computation node as well as to decompose an application into multiple containers distributed among several hosts (e.g., in fog computing layer). Such a technology seems very promising in other domains as well, e.g., in industrial automation, automotive, and aviation industry where mixed criticality containerized applications from various vendors can be co-located on shared resources. However, such industrial domains often require real-time behavior (i.e, a capability to meet predefined deadlines). These capabilities are not fully supported by the container-based virtualization yet. In this work, we provide a systematic literature survey study that summarizes the effort of the research community on bringing real-time properties in container-based virtualization. We categorize existing work into main research areas and identify possible immature points of the technology.

Next-Generation SDN and Fog Computing: A New Paradigm for SDN-Based Edge Computing

Authors: Eder Ollora Zaballa, David Franco, Marina Aguado, and Michael Stübert Berger


Abstract
In the last few years, we have been able to see how terms like Mobile Edge Computing, Cloudlets, and Fog computing have arisen as concepts that reach a level of popularity to express computing towards network Edge. Shifting some processing tasks from the Cloud to the Edge brings challenges to the table that might have been non-considered before in next-generation Software-Defined Networking (SDN). Efficient routing mechanisms, Edge Computing, and SDN applications are challenging to deploy as controllers are expected to have different distributions. In particular, with the advances of SDN and the P4 language, there are new opportunities and challenges that next-generation SDN has for Fog computing. The development of new pipelines along with the progress regarding control-to-data plane programming protocols can also promote data and control plane function offloading. We propose a new mechanism of deploying SDN control planes both locally and remotely to attend different challenges. We encourage researchers to develop new ways to functionally deploying Fog and Cloud control planes that let cross-layer planes interact by deploying specific control and data plane applications. With our proposal, the control and data plane distribution can provide a lower response time for locally deployed applications (local control plane). Besides, it can still be beneficial for a centralized and remotely placed control plane, for applications such as path computation within the same network and between separated networks (remote control plane).

Fog Network Task Scheduling for IoT Applications

Authors: Chongchong Zhang, Fei Shen, Jiong Jin, and Yang Yang


Abstract
In the Internet of Things (IoT) networks, the data traffic would be very bursty and unpredictable. It is therefore very difficult to analyze and guarantee the delay performance for delay-sensitive IoT applications in fog networks, such as emergency monitoring, intelligent manufacturing, and autonomous driving. To address this challenging problem, a Bursty Elastic Task Scheduling (BETS) algorithm is developed to best accommodate bursty task arrivals and various requirements in IoT networks, thus optimizing service experience for delay-sensitive applications with only limited communication resources in time-varying and competing environments. To better describe the stability and consistence of Quality of Service (QoS) in realistic scenarios, a new performance metric "Bursty Service Experience Index (BSEI)" is defined and quantified as delay jitter normalized by the average delay. Finally, the numeral results shows that the performance of BETS is fully evaluated, which can achieve 5-10 times lower BSEI than traditional task scheduling algorithms, e.g. Proportional Fair (PF) and the Max Carrier-to-Interference ratio (MCI), under bursty traffic conditions. These results demonstrate that BETS can effectively smooth down the bursty characteristics in IoT networks, and provide much predictable and acceptable QoS for delay-sensitive applications.

Realizing Video Analytic Service in the Fog-Based Infrastructure-Less Environments

Authors: Qiushi Zheng, Jiong Jin, Tiehua Zhang, Longxiang Gao, and Yong Xiang


Abstract
Deep learning has unleashed the great potential in many fields and now is the most significant facilitator for video analytics owing to its capability to providing more intelligent services in a complex scenario. Meanwhile, the emergence of fog computing has brought unprecedented opportunities to provision intelligence services in infrastructure-less environments like remote national parks and rural farms. However, most of the deep learning algorithms are computationally intensive and impossible to be executed in such environments due to the needed supports from the cloud. In this paper, we develop a video analytic framework, which is tailored particularly for the fog devices to realize video analytic service in a rapid manner. Also, the convolution neural networks are used as the core processing unit in the framework to facilitate the image analysing process.

Detection of Fog Network Data Telemetry Using Data Plane Programming

Authors: Zifan Zhou, Eder Ollora Zaballa, Michael Stübert Berger, and Ying Yan


Abstract
Fog computing has been introduced to deliver Cloud-based services to the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It locates geographically closer to IoT devices than Cloud networks and aims at offering latency-critical computation and storage to end-user applications. To leverage Fog computing for computational offloading from end-users, it is important to optimize resources in the Fog nodes dynamically. Provisioning requires knowledge of the current network state, thus, monitoring mechanisms play a significant role to conduct resource management in the network. To keep track of the state of devices, we use P4, a data-plane programming language, to describe data-plane abstraction of Fog network devices and collect telemetry without the intervention of the control plane or adding a big amount of overhead. In this paper, we propose a software-defined architecture with a programmable data plane for data telemetry detection that can be integrated into Fog network resource management. After the implementation of detecting data telemetry based on In-Band Network Telemetry (INT) within a Mininet simulation, we show the available features and preliminary Fog resource management based on the collected data telemetry and future telemetry-based traffic engineering possibilities.
