• Abstract: The efficient management of complex distributed applications in the Cloud-Edge continuum, including their deployment on heterogeneous computing resources and run-time operations, presents significant challenges. Resource management solutions -- also called orchestrators -- play a pivotal role by automating and managing tasks such as resource discovery, optimisation, application deployment, and lifecycle management, whilst ensuring the desired system performance. This paper introduces Swarmchestrate, a decentralised, application-centric orchestration framework inspired by the self-organising principles of Swarms. Swarmchestrate addresses the end-to-end management of distributed applications, from submission to optimal resource allocation across cloud and edge providers, as well as dynamic reconfiguration. Our initial findings include the implementation of the application deployment phase within a Cloud-Edge simulation environment, demonstrating the potential of Swarmchestrate. The results offer valuable insight into the coordination of resource offerings between various providers and optimised resource allocation, providing a foundation for designing scalable and efficient infrastructures.

• Reinforcement Learning on Computational Resource Allocation of Cloud-based Wireless Networks [22.06811314358283]
  Wireless networks used for Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to largely involve cloud-based computing and processing. In a cloud environment, dynamic computational resource allocation is essential to save energy while maintaining the performance of the processes. This paper models this dynamic computational resource allocation problem into a Markov Decision Process (MDP) and designs a model-based reinforcement-learning agent to optimise the dynamic resource allocation of the CPU usage. The results show that our agent rapidly converges to the optimal policy, stably performs in different settings, outperforms or at least equally performs compared to a baseline algorithm in energy savings for different scenarios.
