Proactive Fault Tolerant Service Management in Edge Computing
Abstract
Edge computing technology facilitates the deployment of real-time services near users by reducing latency and increasing efficient bandwidth utilization compared to cloud computing. The edge servers are usually heterogeneous and resource-constrained. To effectively utilize these edge resources, it is required to efficiently deploy different real-time latency-sensitive edge services so that maximum users will serve. In a pay-per-use edge environment, service providers can not deploy all services on all available edge servers, which is costly for service providers. Further, due to hardware/software issues or overloading, any edge server may fail after service deployment and hamper critical edge services’ system performance. In such a failure-prone environment, designing fault-tolerant service deployment strategies is essential to reduce the impact of the failures. In this paper, we propose a two-stage method, which includes the optimal approach for selecting a primary server to increase user coverage and a heuristic approach for impact-based service deployment within budget to choose a backup server. These stages also verify the overloading of services and user requests on the edge servers to reduce edge failures. Several experiments are conducted to analyze the proposed approach on real-world data. Compared to various baseline approaches, our solution efficiently increases user coverage (15%) and reduces failure impact by having a backup server (25%) for most users to increase availability within the deployment budget.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
