Abstract

An edge cloud architecture plays a key role in improving the user task computing service system by combining the powerful data processing capability of cloud centres with the low latency of edge computing. Existing methods for maximizing the efficiency of an edge cloud architecture take into account time and task parameters but ignore other factors such as load balancing, cost, and user satisfaction when scheduling resources. In this work, we propose a many-objective resource scheduling model for optimizing the performance of an edge cloud architecture, which takes into account the time spent on task, cost, load balance, user satisfaction, and trust measurement. The resource scheduling model converges to the optimal solution using a novel many-objective ensemble optimization algorithm based on a dynamic selection mechanism. The study also explores the support set convergence of eight evolutionary operators using the ensemble algorithm. The model solutions are dynamically updated with the help of the dynamic integration probability, and then a selection criteria is used to pick the best solutions from the pool of generated solutions. Two simulations on a benchmark dataset are used to verify the usefulness and performance of the designed algorithm. Our approach was able to locate more than half of the best solutions on the benchmark functions, and it also showed to be a better model solution than the some of the popular many-objective algorithms for dealing with the edge cloud resource scheduling problem, according to the results obtained from the simulations.
