A Multi-User Tasks Offloading Scheme for Integrated Edge-Fog-Cloud Computing Environments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents a multi-user, multi-class and multi-layer edge computing-based framework for effective task offloading and computation processes. Important system requirements that were not captured in the existing multi-layer solutions such as offloading, computations and deadline requirements were captured in the system modeling, while both wireless communications and task computation constraints were considered. We considered three layers system, where each device offloads its generated tasks in each time slot to any selected layer for computation. On its arrival at such a selected layer, the task is only accepted if the queue size is below the pre-defined threshold, otherwise, such a task is offloaded to the next layer. Tasks were classified into class 1 and class 2 tasks following tasks’ quality of service requirements. We adopted stochastic geometry, parallel computing and queueing theory techniques to model the performance of the considered integrated edge-fog-cloud computing environment and obtained analysis for various performance metrics of interest. The obtained analyses demonstrate the importance of multi-layer and multi-class edge computing systems towards improving the experience of both delay-sensitive and mission-critical applications in any task offloading environment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
