Title: An edge-based architecture to support the execution of ambience intelligence tasks using the IoP paradigm
In an IoP environment, edge computing has been proposed to address the problems of resource limitations of edge devices such as smartphones as well as the high-latency, user privacy exposure and network bottleneck that the cloud computing platform solutions incur. This paper presents a context management framework comprised of sensors, mobile devices such as smartphones and an edge server to enable high performance, context-aware computing at the edge. Key features of this architecture include energy-efficient discovery of available sensors and edge services for the client, an automated mechanism for task planning and execution on the edge server, and a dynamic environment where new sensors and services may be added to the framework. A prototype of this architecture has been implemented, and an experimental evaluation using two computer vision tasks as example services is presented. Performance measurement shows that the execution of the example tasks performs quite well and the proposed framework is well suited for an edge-computing environment.  more » « less

  1. Mobile devices such as smartphones and autonomous vehicles increasingly rely on deep neural networks (DNNs) to execute complex inference tasks such as image classification and speech recognition, among others. However, continuously executing the entire DNN on mobile devices can quickly deplete their battery. Although task offloading to cloud/edge servers may decrease the mobile device’s computational burden, erratic patterns in channel quality, network, and edge server load can lead to a significant delay in task execution. Recently, approaches based on split computing (SC) have been proposed, where the DNN is split into a head and a tail model, executed respectively on the mobile device and on the edge server. Ultimately, this may reduce bandwidth usage as well as energy consumption. Another approach, called early exiting (EE), trains models to embed multiple “exits” earlier in the architecture, each providing increasingly higher target accuracy. Therefore, the tradeoff between accuracy and delay can be tuned according to the current conditions or application demands. In this article, we provide a comprehensive survey of the state of the art in SC and EE strategies by presenting a comparison of the most relevant approaches. We conclude the article by providing a set of compelling research challenges.

  2. With distributed communication, computation, and storage resources close to end users, edge computing has great potentials to support delay-sensitive industrial applications involving intelligent edge devices. Cognitive portable ground penetrating radars (GPRs) are expected to achieve high-quality sensing performance in a variety of industrial environments by operating intelligently and adaptively under varying sensing conditions. Although edge computing makes it very promising to develop cognitive portable GPRs, both strict performance requirement and trade-offs between communication and computation pose significant challenges. This paper presents an edge computing framework for cognitive portable GPRs. Specifically, the system architecture of an EC-enabled cognitive portable GPR is developed. Based on the identification of various involved computation tasks, an offloading policy was proposed to determine whether computation tasks should be executed locally or offloaded to the edge server. Experimental results show the efficacy of the proposed methods. The framework also provides insight into the design of cognitive Internet of things (IoT) supported by edge computing.

  3. Mobile devices such as drones and autonomous vehicles increasingly rely on object detection (OD) through deep neural networks (DNNs) to perform critical tasks such as navigation, target-tracking and surveillance, just to name a few. Due to their high complexity, the execution of these DNNs requires excessive time and energy. Low-complexity object tracking (OT) is thus used along with OD, where the latter is periodically applied to generate "fresh" references for tracking. However, the frames processed with OD incur large delays, which does not comply with real-time applications requirements. Offloading OD to edge servers can mitigate this issue, but existing work focuses on the optimization of the offloading process in systems where the wireless channel has a very large capacity. Herein, we consider systems with constrained and erratic channel capacity, and establish parallel OT (at the mobile device) and OD (at the edge server) processes that are resilient to large OD latency. We propose Katch-Up, a novel tracking mechanism that improves the system resilience to excessive OD delay. We show that this technique greatly improves the quality of the reference available to tracking, and boosts performance up to 33%. However, while Katch-Up significantly improves performance, it also increases the computing load of the mobile device. Hence, we design SmartDet, a low-complexity controller based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) that learns to achieve the right trade-off between resource utilization and OD performance. SmartDet takes as input highly-heterogeneous context-related information related to the current video content and the current network conditions to optimize frequency and type of OD offloading, as well as Katch-Up utilization. We extensively evaluate SmartDet on a real-world testbed composed by a JetSon Nano as mobile device and a GTX 980 Ti as edge server, connected through a Wi-Fi link, to collect several network-related traces, as well as energy measurements. We consider a state-of-the-art video dataset (ILSVRC 2015 - VID) and state-of-the-art OD models (EfficientDet 0, 2 and 4). Experimental results show that SmartDet achieves an optimal balance between tracking performance – mean Average Recall (mAR) and resource usage. With respect to a baseline with full Katch-Up usage and maximum channel usage, we still increase mAR by 4% while using 50% less of the channel and 30% power resources associated with Katch-Up. With respect to a fixed strategy using minimal resources, we increase mAR by 20% while using Katch-Up on 1/3 of the frames.

  4. Abstract

    Small‐to‐medium businesses are always seeking affordable ways to advertise their products and services securely. With the emergence of mobile technology, it is possible than ever to implement innovative Location‐Based Advertising (LBS) systems using smartphones that preserve the privacy of mobile users. In this paper, we present a prototype implementation of such systems by developing a distributed privacy‐preserving system, which has parts executing on smartphones as a mobile app, as well as a web‐based application hosted on the cloud. The mobile app leverages Google Maps libraries to enhance the user experience in using the app. Mobile users can use the app to commute to their daily destinations while viewing relevant ads such as job openings in their neighborhood, discounts on favorite meals, etc. We developed a client‐server privacy architecture that anonymizes the mobile user trajectories using a bounded perturbation strategy. A multi‐modal sensing approach is proposed for modeling the context switching of the developed LBS system, which we represent as a Finite State Machine model. The multi‐modal sensing approach can reduce the power consumed by mobile devices by automatically detecting sensing mode changes to avoid unnecessary sensing. The developed LBS system is organized into two parts: the business side and the user side. First, the business side allows business owners to create new ads by providing the ad details, Geo‐location, photos, and any other instructions. Second, the user side allows mobile users to navigate through the map to see ads while walking, driving, bicycling, or quietly sitting in their offices. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the scalability and performance of the mobile side. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that the mobile app incurs low processing overhead and consequently has a small energy footprint.

  5. The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that aims to connect our environment to the internet in the same way that personal computers connected people. As this technology progresses, the IoT paradigm becomes more prevalent in our everyday lives. The nature of IoT applications necessitates devices that are low-cost, power-sensitive, integrated, unobtrusive, and interoperable with existing cloud platforms and services, for example, Amazon AWS IoT, IBM Watson IoT. As a result, these devices are often small in size, with just enough computing power needed for their specific tasks. These resource-constrained devices are often unable to implement traditional network security measures and represent a vulnerability to network attackers as a result. Few frameworks are positioned to handle the influx of this new technology and the security concerns associated with it. Current solutions fail to provide a comprehensive and multi-layer solution to these inherent IoT security vulnerabilities. This paper presents a layered approach to IoT testbed that aims to bridge multiple connection standards and cloud platforms. To solve challenges surrounding this multi-layer IoT testbed, we propose a mesh inside a mesh IoT network architecture. Our designed "edge router" incorporates two mesh networks together and performs seamlessly transmission of multi-standard packets. The proposed IoT testbed interoperates with existing multi-standards (Wi-Fi, 6LoWPAN) and segments of networks, and provides both Internet and resilient sensor coverage to the cloud platform. To ensure confidentiality and authentication of IoT devices when interoperating with multiple service platforms, we propose optimized cryptographic techniques and software frameworks for IoT devices. We propose to extend and modify the existing open-source IDS platforms such as Snort to support IoT platforms and environments. We validate the efficacy of the proposed system by evaluating its performance and effect on key system resources. The work within this testbed design and implementation provides a solid foundation for further IoT system development.
