Mobility-aware task scheduling based on artificial intelligence in edge-cloud systems


Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of edge-cloud computing, optimizing task scheduling and ensuring reliable fault prediction are critical for maintaining system performance and resource efficiency. We propose an innovative fault prediction model based on Graph Attention Networks (GAT) and a migration decision model leveraging Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). Driven by the increasing demand for efficient resource management in edge environments, fueled by the proliferation of IoT devices and the need for real-time data processing, our hybrid approach uses GAT to identify possible failure points in task execution based on historical data, while the GAN model predicts optimal migration paths to proactively mitigate these failures. This dual strategy enhances fault tolerance while ensuring seamless task migration with minimal latency, improving overall system throughput. We conducted a thorough evaluation of our proposed models against existing fault prediction and task migration methods, demonstrating significant improvements in execution time and energy consumption. The results show that our hybrid approach enhances predictive accuracy and optimizes resource allocation in edge-cloud environments.

Notes for potential reviewers

  • Volunteering is not a guarantee that you will be asked to review. There are many reasons: reviewers must be qualified, there should be no conflicts of interest, a minimum of two reviewers have already accepted an invitation, etc.
  • This is NOT OPEN peer review. The review is single-blind, and all recommendations are sent privately to the Academic Editor handling the manuscript. All reviews are published and reviewers can choose to sign their reviews.
  • What happens after volunteering? It may be a few days before you receive an invitation to review with further instructions. You will need to accept the invitation to then become an official referee for the manuscript. If you do not receive an invitation it is for one of many possible reasons as noted above.

  • PeerJ Computer Science does not judge submissions based on subjective measures such as novelty, impact or degree of advance. Effectively, reviewers are asked to comment on whether or not the submission is scientifically and technically sound and therefore deserves to join the scientific literature. Our Peer Review criteria can be found on the "Editorial Criteria" page - reviewers are specifically asked to comment on 3 broad areas: "Basic Reporting", "Experimental Design" and "Validity of the Findings".
  • Reviewers are expected to comment in a timely, professional, and constructive manner.
  • Until the article is published, reviewers must regard all information relating to the submission as strictly confidential.
  • When submitting a review, reviewers are given the option to "sign" their review (i.e. to associate their name with their comments). Otherwise, all review comments remain anonymous.
  • All reviews of published articles are published. This includes manuscript files, peer review comments, author rebuttals and revised materials.
  • Each time a decision is made by the Academic Editor, each reviewer will receive a copy of the Decision Letter (which will include the comments of all reviewers).

If you have any questions about submitting your review, please email us at [email protected].
