Abstract

Fog computing, shifting intelligence and resources from remote cloud to edge networks, has the potential of providing low-latency for the end-to-end communication from data sources to users. However, it's hard to enhance resource-efficiency in the existing relatively static and proprietary framework of fog nodes due to the diversity of service requirements. With the growing deployment of fog computing, the overall resource consumption in fog will be huge without considering the efficient service provisioning in each fog node. On one hand, different fog users require diverse local services policies which are carried out within the fog nodes. Moreover, for one user, the requirements on services are time-varying. On the other hand, the processing strategies on different types of content (e.g. video, audio, etc.) are also distinct. These dynamic features impose the need for user-driven and content-based service reconstruction in order to achieve the high recycling utilization of resources of fog system. To this end, we propose a software-defined efficient service reconstruction (SDSR) scheme in fog using content awareness and weighted graph. Service reconstruction mechanism is devised to dynamically recycle modularized resources after mapping different contents to relevant operations. Weighted graph is introduced to schedule and optimize the services reconstruction in terms of resource saving during content-driven controlling. User-defined interfaces are designed to enable fog users to reconfigure the recyclable resource modules. Simulation results demonstrate that the service cost of each fog nodes is reduced significantly, thus promote efficient service provisioning for the whole fog system.
