    VMAP: Matching-based Efficient Offloading in IoT-Fog Environments with Variable Resources
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2023) Morey, J.V.; Satpathy, A.; Addya, S.K.
    Fog computing is a promising technology for critical, resource-intensive, and time-sensitive applications. In this regard, a significant challenge is generating an offloading solution that minimizes the latency, energy, and number of outages for a dense IoT-Fog environment. However, the existing solutions either focus on a single objective or mainly dedicate fixed-sized resources as virtual resource units (VRUs). Moreover, these solutions are restrictive and not comprehensive, resulting in poor performance. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a VMAP model addressing the lacunas above. Offloading problem is abstracted as a one-to-many matching game between two sets of entities - tasks and fog nodes (FNs) by considering both preferences. Moreover, the preferences and weights of the parameters are generated using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Exhaustive simulations indicate that the proposed strategy outperforms the baseline algorithms, considering average task latency and energy consumption by 35% and 22.2%, respectively. Additionally, resource utilization also experiences a boost by 28.57%, and 97.98% of tasks complete their execution within the deadlines. © 2023 IEEE.

    LBA: Matching Theory Based Latency-Sensitive Binary Offloading in IoT-Fog Networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Soni, P.; Deshlahre, O.C.; Satpathy, A.; Addya, S.K.
    The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing more popular with applications like healthcare services, traffic monitoring, video streaming, smart homes, etc. These applications produce an enormous amount of data, so a realistic option in this instance is to offload computational tasks to their proximity fog nodes (FNs) instead of the remote cloud. However, a negligent offloading strategy may cause anomalous computational traffic load at the FNs, causing congestion that may adversely affect the latency. However, the latency of task flows from IoT devices comprises communications latency at BS and computational latency at FNs. Therefore, designing offloading algorithms to distribute the computational load at FN evenly and efficiently utilize the FN resources is crucial. To solve this problem, we proposed LBA in a fog network with a binary offloading strategy using the matching theory-based approach. We utilize the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to generate the preference list. Furthermore, the binary offloading technique follows the deferred acceptance algorithm (DAA) to produce a stable assignment, and the complete offloading problem is modeled as a one-to-many matching game. Comprehensive simulations ensure that LBA can accomplish a better-balanced assignment for homogeneous and heterogeneous input concerning all the baseline algorithms. © 2024 IEEE.

    LEASE: Leveraging Energy-Awareness in Serverless Edge for Latency-Sensitive IoT Services
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Verma, A.; Satpathy, A.; Das, S.K.; Addya, S.K.
    Resource scheduling catering to real-time IoT services in a serverless-enabled edge network is particularly challenging owing to the workload variability, strict constraints on tolerable latency, and unpredictability in the energy sources powering the edge devices. This paper proposes a framework LEASE that dynamically schedules resources in serverless functions catering to different microservices and adhering to their deadline constraint. To assist the scheduler in making effective scheduling decisions, we introduce a priority-based approach that offloads functions from over-provisioned edge nodes to under-provisioned peer nodes, considering the expended energy in the process without compromising the completion time of microservices. For real-world implementations, we consider a testbed comprising a Raspberry Pi cluster serving as edge nodes, equipped with container orchestrator tools such as Kubernetes and powered by OpenFaaS, an open-source serverless platform. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to the benchmarking algorithm, LEASE achieves a 23.34% reduction in the overall completion time, with 97.64% of microservices meeting their deadline. LEASE also attains a 30.10% reduction in failure rates. © 2024 IEEE.
