 | Abstract:
In accordance with the Internet of Everything (IoE) paradigm, millions of people and billions of devices are expected to be connected to each other, giving rise to an ever increasing demand for application services with a strict quality of service requirements. Therefore, service providers are dealing with the functional integration of the classical cloud computing architecture with edge computing networks. However, the intrinsic limited capacity of the edge computing nodes implies the need for proper virtual functions' allocations to improve user satisfaction and service fulfillment. In this sense, demand prediction is crucial in services management and exploitation. The main challenge here consists of the high variability of application requests that result in inaccurate forecasts. Federated learning has recently emerged as a solution to train mathematical learning models on the users' site. This paper investigates the application of federated learning to virtual functions demand prediction in IoE based edge cloud computing systems, to preserve the data security and maximise service provider revenue. Additionally, the paper proposes a virtual function placement based on the services demand prediction provided by the federated learning module. A matching based tasks allocation is proposed. Finally, numerical results validate the proposed approach, compared with a chaos theory prediction scheme. |
