An application of heuristic algorithms on multi-access edge computing
Abstract
Cloud Computing Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) is designed to solve delay problem of Cloud Computing (CC). By locating servers' computation power near to the end users, MEC aims to reduce overall computation period. In a sense MEC servers act as a proxy servers for huge data centers of CC. In MEC main aspect is computation offloading which means sending of the tasks to MEC servers. Under normal circumstances such big tasks cannot be executed at local devices due to their limited resources. First CC then MEC address that problem by offloading the tasks to data centers and MEC servers. Although enabling huge task can be processed with this method new problem is risen. Since end users’ devices also have decent computation power optimizing offloading process become a challenge for researchers. In this study, we work on computer offloading optimization by applying Heuristic Algorithms.
