With the skyrocketing need for low-latency services on the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and elastic cross-layer resource provisioning, multi-access edge computing (MEC) is considered a high-potent solution, which evolves from cloud and grid computing to meet the above needs in IoV scenarios. Instead of considering single-point and monolithic IoV tasks, in this paper, we consider the IoV applications to be with structural properties and the supporting environment to be with a hybrid cloud-edge architecture. We develop a scheduling method that offloads tasks to the eNode or cloud according to their estimations of latest starting time. Simulative results clearly demonstrate that our method beat existing solutions in terms of average completion time, average waiting time, and in-time completion rate.
Vehicular Edge Computing (VEC) provides users with low-latency and highly responsive services by deploying Edge Servers (ESs) close to applications. In practice, vehicles are usually moving rapidly. To ensure the continuity of services, edge service migration technology is in high need, by which an application, infrastructure or any edge-hosted applications or services are not locked into a single vendor and allowed to shift between different edge resource vendors. Nevertheless, due to their complex and dynamic nature, real edge computing environments are error and fault prone and thus the reliability of edge service migrations can be easily compromised if the proactive measures are not taken to counter failures at different levels. In this paper, we propose a novel fault-tolerant approach for Dynamic Redundant Path Selection service migration (DRPS). The DRPS approach consists of path selection algorithm and service migration algorithm. The path selection algorithm is capable of evaluating time-varying failure rates of ESs by leveraging a sliding window-based model and identifying a set of service migration paths. The service migration algorithm incorporates resubmission and replication mechanisms as well and decides edge service migration schemes by choosing multiple redundant migration paths. We also conduct extensive simulations and show that our proposed method outperforms traditional solutions by 17.45%, 13.17%, and 7.22% in terms of ACT, TCR, and AFC, respectively.
