Multi-agent Approach to Computational Resource Allocation in Edge Computing

Abstract

The system of streaming data and complex events distributed processing is considered. A mathematical model for computational resource consumption and allocation in edge computing is offered. On the basis of mathematical model there was developed a multi-agent algorithm as a part of agent-based software architecture for distributed processing of streaming data, which had been developed by the authors previously. The efficiency of the developed algorithm has been investigated by means of simulation in AnyLogic. The resource allocation problem in edge computing was simulated and the algorithm demonstrated satisfying results both at static and dynamic regimes. Also, the perspectives of intellectual technologies using in resource allocation for edge computing are considered.
