Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Strategy for Latency-Aware IoT Application Executing in Edge Computing Environment

Mudassar, Muhammad, Zhai, Yanlong, Lejian, Liao·2022·IEEE Internet of Things Journal

Abstract

Edge computing has recently evolved that offers to execute jobs efficiently by pushing cloud capabilities to edge of the network, this improves the quality of services to latency-oriented Internet of Things (IoT) applications when compared with cloud computing. By using current smart devices as edge nodes, edge computing can provide elastic resources that allow distributed data processing in a decentralized way. Still these smart devices are resource constrained in nature and tends to face a high failure rate than traditional distributed systems, the implementation of a fault-tolerant system that ensures the reliability and application availability becomes a key requirement. In this article, we propose a fault-tolerance methodology based on checkpointing and replication for the edge computing. Our proposed system uses a smart checkpointing for the IoT application tasks executing in a distributed edge network, and by replicating the checkpoint files on alternative edge nodes in the vicinity allowed to increase the system reliability. The experimental results show that our approach is effective in terms of reliability and availability of tasks executing in the edge network along with meeting deadlines of an IoT application.

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.
