PLATOS: A Power and Latency-Aware Task-Oriented Scheduling Strategy for Healthcare IoT in Fog Computing

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces PLATOS, a scheduling strategy for Healthcare IoT in fog computing that balances power consumption and latency. PLATOS classifies tasks into priority, storage, and computational categories, then selects fog resources to minimize delay and energy use before allocating high‑performance nodes to high‑priority tasks. Simulations show an 18.72% reduction in energy use and an 8.65% decrease in latency compared to existing methods.

PPO-STGNN: A Proximal Policy Optimization Approach with Spatio-Temporal Graph Neural Networks for DAG Task Scheduling in Cloud-Edge-End Computing

PPO-STGNN is a DAG task‑scheduling algorithm that combines proximal policy optimization with spatio‑temporal graph neural networks. It extracts features from both the task topology and the heterogeneous cloud‑edge‑end resource graph, then optimizes scheduling to reduce makespan and schedule length ratio while balancing CPU and memory loads. A multi‑teacher behavior‑cloning pretraining step accelerates convergence, and experiments show significant load‑balancing improvements with low completion times in dynamic, heterogeneous environments.

SAREF-based Ontology for Distributed AI Workflows across the Edge-Fog-Cloud Continuum

The paper introduces a SAREF-compliant ontology designed to represent distributed AI workflows across edge, fog, and cloud environments. It extends the SAREF4SYST ontology with concepts for AI pipelines, executable jobs, resources, deployment constraints, and communication links, creating a unified semantic model for both AI workflows and heterogeneous infrastructures. Evaluation through smart‑grid energy service scenarios and competency questions demonstrates successful deployment, reasoning, and workload adaptation, achieving 90‑100% deployment success and sub‑80 ms orchestration times.

Adaptive AI Task Partitioning and Safe Offloading in Heterogeneous Edge-Cloud Continuum

The paper introduces a dynamic framework for partitioning neural network layers across a heterogeneous edge‑cloud continuum, adapting to runtime changes in network conditions and device capabilities. It profiles models at startup, measures link quality, and periodically re‑evaluates the partitioning to optimize performance. Experiments on a Raspberry Pi, laptop, and desktop using VGG16, AlexNet, and MobileNetV2 demonstrate energy savings of 27.09–35.82% and latency reductions of 6.34–22.92% over static partitioning.
