This paper investigates an efficient placement and chaining of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)
to provide cloud based IoT services with minimal resource usage cost. We take into …

… of each time frame; each time frame is slotted into time slots (subframes, 1 ms) and the time
slots … Let k be the time frame index, T0 be the duration of a time frame, and qi,j be the waiting …

… node v 2 V [ fv0g may vary at different time slots too. In the following we consider the dynamic
user service request admissions within a finite time horizon that consists of T equal time …

… For a clear comparison, the service time is divided into three phases: 1) the service time …
target edge; 2) the service execution time in the IoT; and 3) the service time from the target edge …

… In this section, a trust-oriented IoT service placement method for smart cities in edge
computing is … Henkel, “Computation offloading and resource allocation for low-power IoT edge …

… in the edge-cloud network to implement IoT service that is operated over time slots 1, 2, ...,
T. There is a set N of VNFs at timeslot t that needs to be deployed for an IoT service. The …

… Thus, we can derive the service time for type k requests running in a cloudlet’s VM as lk/μik, …
a Poisson process while the corresponding service time follows an exponential distribution, …

… IoT service slicing architecture used by SDN, enabling the required abstraction of the IoT
slicer service and IoT edge … information amongst IoT edge worker and IoT Service Slicer entity. …

… IoT-edgecloud computing system with IoT regions, edge nodes and a cloud. Each of IoT
regions endows with an edge … three IoT regions, three edge nodes and a cloud in an IoT-edge-…

… time. Containerization can provide a way to improve the performance of the IoT-Edge cloud
… In this paper, we propose STaSA, a service time aware scheduler for the edge environment. …
