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 becoming 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 UAV-based 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.

GEESE:无人机支持的边缘计算

普及的应用正在彻底改变用户对环境的看法。确实,无处不在的应用程序对从多个源收集的大量流传感器数据执行资源密集型计算。这使应用程序可以提供更丰富,更深入的洞察力,以了解控制我们周围一切的自然特征。这些应用程序的一个关键限制是它们具有高能耗,这反过来又会影响用户的体验质量。尽管可以使用云计算和边缘计算解决方案来缓解此问题,但是这些解决方案很难在现有体系结构中采用,并且远没有普及。幸运的是,小云已经变得具有足够的可移植性,因此可以轻松,动态地将它们传输并集成到任何环境中。在本文中,我们研究了无人驾驶自动驾驶汽车(UAV)如何运输小云,以在边缘提供计算支持。基于我们的研究,我们开发了GEESE,这是一种基于UAV的新型系统,通过与多个携带Cloudlet的UAV的协作,可以动态部署边缘计算基础架构。通过使用GEESE,我们进行了严格的实验,以分析使用空中,地面和水下UAV运送小云的努力。我们的结果表明,无人机可以以协作方式工作,以实现野外边缘计算。一种新颖的基于UAV的系统,通过与多个携带cloudlet的UAV的协作,可以动态部署边缘计算基础架构。通过使用GEESE,我们进行了严格的实验,以分析使用空中,地面和水下UAV运送小云的努力。我们的结果表明,无人机可以以协作方式工作,以实现野外边缘计算。一种新颖的基于UAV的系统,通过与多个携带cloudlet的UAV的协作,可以动态部署边缘计算基础架构。通过使用GEESE,我们进行了严格的实验,以分析使用空中,地面和水下UAV运送小云的努力。我们的结果表明,无人机可以以协作方式工作,以实现野外边缘计算。
