Smart Adaptive Computing Across the Continuum: LLMs in IoT-Edge-Cloud Resource Management

The paper introduces a taxonomy for resource management systems that span IoT, edge, and cloud layers, extending Wang et al.’s Continuum Orchestration Systems with two new dimensions: the AI Augmentation Paradigm and the Feedback channel. It evaluates six recent architectures and finds that none combine full LLM orchestration with full agent‑layer feedback in a Cloud Continuum setting, highlighting a gap in cross‑tier feedback abstraction. The study emphasizes the need for a unified feedback mechanism to bridge disparate per‑tier signals to the LLM orchestrator.

Multi-Turn Reasoning LLMs for Task Offloading in Mobile Edge Computing

The paper introduces COMLLM, a generative framework that combines Group Relative Policy Optimization with a Look‑Ahead Collaborative Simulation to enable multi‑turn reasoning for task offloading in Mobile Edge Computing. By performing multi‑step Monte Carlo rollouts that jointly model server queue dynamics, COMLLM incorporates long‑term system evolution into its reward design, achieving near‑optimal latency and improved load‑balancing fairness. The framework demonstrates zero‑shot scalability to larger network topologies, outperforming supervised fine‑tuning, deep reinforcement learning, and heuristic baselines without requiring retraining.

OrchSLM: Probing the Dynamics of Small Language Model Orchestration

OrchSLM is a routing framework that unifies non‑interactive orchestration methods for small language models (SLMs). It allows heterogeneous SLMs to independently generate candidate solutions while a router manages their cached outputs without further model interaction. By systematically probing OrchSLM, the study shows how orchestration behavior depends on task structure, model‑pool composition, and multi‑agent consensus.

CoMIC: Collaborative Memory and Insights Circulation for Long-Horizon LLM Agents in Cloud-Edge Systems

arXiv:2606. 00756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying lightweight Large Language Model (LLM) agents on edge servers can reduce latency and move agentic services closer to users, but resource-constrained edge models often struggle with long-horizon tasks that require persistent memory, subgoal tracking, and reflection.

Learning to Remember: Attentive Reinforcement Learning for Edge Serverless Autoscaling

The paper introduces a stability‑aware autoscaling framework for edge serverless workloads that combines an Attention‑Enhanced Double‑Stacked LSTM with Proximal Policy Optimization to address temporal blindness in deep reinforcement learning. By weighting recent historical states non‑uniformly, the method suppresses high‑frequency jitter while preserving demand trends, outperforming single‑layer LSTM, static HPA, and KEDA baselines in latency reduction and stability. Experiments on two Kubernetes clusters with real Azure Functions traces show a ~67% reduction in P90 latency and improved adherence to a 50 ms hard SLO.

Where Should Agents Live? Energy-Memory Characterization of Agentic AI for the Edge-Cloud Continuum

The paper introduces agentic-eCAL, an extension of the Energy Cost of AI Lifecycle metric to evaluate multi‑agent AI workflows across the edge‑cloud continuum. By combining a two‑rate energy model with OSI‑layer transport analysis, the authors quantify that inter‑agent text transfer accounts for only 0.25% of total workflow energy, highlighting that the main energy cost lies in additional inference and context processing triggered by communication. The study uses extensive GPU benchmarks on NVIDIA A100/H100 with 16 open‑weight models and 8 orchestration topologies to validate the metric and explore placement implications.
