Pervasive applications are revolutionizing the perception that users have towards the environment. Indeed, pervasive applications perform resource intensive computations over large amounts of stream sensor data collected from multiple sources. This allows applications to provide richer and deep insights into the natural characteristics that govern everything that surrounds us. A key limitation of these applications is that they have high energy footprints, which in turn hampers the quality of experience of users. While cloud and edge computing solutions can be applied to alleviate the problem, these solutions are hard to adopt in existing architecture and far from become ubiquitous. Fortunately, cloudlets are becoming portable enough, such that they can be transported and integrated into any environment easily and dynamically. In this article, we investigate how cloudlets can be transported by unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAV)s to provide computation support on the edge. Based on our study, we develop GEESE, a novel UAVbased system that enables the dynamic deployment of an edge computing infrastructure through the cooperation of multiple UAVs carrying cloudlets. By using GEESE, we conduct rigorous experiments to analyze the effort to deliver cloudlets using aerial, ground, and underwater UAVs. Our results indicate that UAVs can work in a cooperative manner to enable edge computing in the wild.

In this paper, we propose a novel deep Q-network (DQN)-based edge selection algorithm designed specifically for real-time surveillance in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks. The proposed algorithm is designed under the consideration of delay, ene
rgy, and overflow as optimizations to ensure real-time properties while striking a balance for other environment-related parameters. The merit of the proposed algorithm is verified via simulation-based performance evaluation.
Mobile edge computing (MEC) has become a promising solution to utilize distributed computing resources for supporting computation-intensive vehicular applications in dynamic driving environments. To facilitate this paradigm, the onsite resource tradi
ng serves as a critical enabler. However, dynamic communications and resource conditions could lead unpredictable trading latency, trading failure, and unfair pricing to the conventional resource trading process. To overcome these challenges, we introduce a novel futures-based resource trading approach in edge computing-enabled internet of vehicles (IoV), where a forward contract is used to facilitate resource trading related negotiations between an MEC server (seller) and a vehicle (buyer) in a given future term. Through estimating the historical statistics of future resource supply and network condition, we formulate the futures-based resource trading as the optimization problem aiming to maximize the sellers and the buyers expected utility, while applying risk evaluations to relieve possible losses incurred by the uncertainties in the system. To tackle this problem, we propose an efficient bilateral negotiation approach which facilitates the participants reaching a consensus. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed futures-based resource trading brings considerable utilities to both participants, while significantly outperforming the baseline methods on critical factors, e.g., trading failures and fairness, negotiation latency and cost.
Mobile edge computing (MEC) has emerged as one of the key technical aspects of the fifth-generation (5G) networks. The integration of MEC with resource-constrained unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could enable flexible resource provisioning for suppor
ting dynamic and computation-intensive UAV applications. Existing resource trading could facilitate this paradigm with proper incentives, which, however, may often incur unexpected negotiation latency and energy consumption, trading failures and unfair pricing, due to the unpredictable nature of the resource trading process. Motivated by these challenges, an efficient futures-based resource trading mechanism for edge computing-assisted UAV network is proposed, where a mutually beneficial and risk-tolerable forward contract is devised to promote resource trading between an MEC server (seller) and a UAV (buyer). Two key problems i.e. futures contract design before trading and power optimization during trading are studied. By analyzing historical statistics associated with future resource supply, demand, and air-to-ground communication quality, the contract design is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem, aiming to maximize both the sellers and the buyers expected utilities, while estimating their acceptable risk tolerance. Accordingly, we propose an efficient bilateral negotiation scheme to help players reach a trading consensus on the amount of resources and the relevant price. For the power optimization problem, we develop a practical algorithm that enables the buyer to determine its optimal transmission power via convex optimization techniques. Comprehensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed mechanism offers both players considerable utilities, while outperforming the onsite trading mechanism on trading failures and fairness, negotiation latency, and cost.
The rigid MPI programming model and batch scheduling dominate high-performance computing. While clouds brought new levels of elasticity into the world of computing, supercomputers still suffer from low resource utilization rates. To enhance supercomp
uting clusters with the benefits of serverless computing, a modern cloud programming paradigm for pay-as-you-go execution of stateless functions, we present rFaaS, the first RDMA-aware Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform. With hot invocations and decentralized function placement, we overcome the major performance limitations of FaaS systems and provide low-latency remote invocations in multi-tenant environments. We evaluate the new serverless system through a series of microbenchmarks and show that remote functions execute with negligible performance overheads. We demonstrate how serverless computing can bring elastic resource management into MPI-based high-performance applications. Overall, our results show that MPI applications can benefit from modern cloud programming paradigms to guarantee high performance at lower resource costs.
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) gives a great opportunity to develop an autonomous devices. The contribution of this work is an improved convolutional neural network (CNN) model and its implementation for the detection of road cracks, po
tholes, and yellow lane in the road. The purpose of yellow lane detection and tracking is to realize autonomous navigation of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) by following yellow lane while detecting and reporting the road cracks and potholes to the server through WIFI or 5G medium. The fabrication of own data set is a hectic and time-consuming task. The data set is created, labeled and trained using default and an improved model. The performance of both these models is benchmarked with respect to accuracy, mean average precision (mAP) and detection time. In the testing phase, it was observed that the performance of the improved model is better in respect of accuracy and mAP. The improved model is implemented in UAV using the robot operating system for the autonomous detection of potholes and cracks in roads via UAV front camera vision in real-time.
