Smart cities are urban areas that use Internet connected devices, called the Internet-of-Things (IoT), to collect and analyze large amounts of data to increase the productivity and efficiency of city resources. Smart home sensors and smartphones are examples of things used in the era of smart cities, each creating a tremendous amount of data that needs to be processed. Edge computing is an emerging technology used to process such large amounts of data in real-time. Edge computing also poses new resource management challenges due to its limited capacity. This project focuses on optimization of resource management in edge and cloud computing frameworks.This project proposes to use concepts of federated learning and reinforcement learning to provide optimal solutions for service placement and request scheduling in multi-tier edge and cloud computing frameworks. This project will focus on new algorithms and system design technologies to trade off the quality-of-service (QoS) and the cost in edge computing systems. Three main thrusts include: 1) finding theoretical bounds through mathematical formulation and algorithm design, 2) finding more practical and adaptive solutions through multi-agent reinforcement learning and the federated learning framework, and 3) comparison of practical solutions with theoretical bounds through numerical analysis and implementations on a mobile edge computing test-bed. This project will have impacts on the future IoT and smart cities applications by improving the cost of providing such applications while maintaining certain QoS levels for users. Algorithms and an optimization framework developed in this project will contribute to the research in design and development of scalable and reliable edge computing systems as building blocks of IoT applications. This research will be integrated into classroom teaching as a special topics graduate level course offered by the investigator. Specific outreach activities for middle school, high school and Berea College students aim to increase participation of underrepresented groups in computer science.The data produced by this project including codes, experimental results, videos of talks, and publications will be shared using the project page that will be maintained during the lifetime of this project. Upon finalizing the two-year term of the project, an archive of the project webpage and information will be digitally stored and made available upon request by any researcher or entity if the webpage is taken down.

This project is jointly funded by the Computer Systems Research Program in the Division of Computer and Network Systems and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

智慧城市是使用互联网连接设备（称为物联网（IoT））来收集和分析大量数据以提高城市资源的生产力和效率的城市地区。智能家居传感器和智能手机是智慧城市时代使用的事物的例子，它们都会产生大量需要处理的数据。边缘计算是一种新兴技术，用于实时处理如此大量的数据。由于容量有限，边缘计算还带来了新的资源管理挑战。该项目专注于边缘和云计算框架中资源管理的优化。该项目建议使用联邦学习和强化学习的概念，为多层边缘和云计算框架中的服务放置和请求调度提供最优解决方案。该项目将重点关注新算法和系统设计技术，以权衡边缘计算系统的服务质量（QoS）和成本。三个主要目标包括：1）通过数学公式和算法设计寻找理论界限，2）通过多智能体强化学习和联邦学习框架寻找更实用和适应性更强的解决方案，3）通过数值分析将实际解决方案与理论界限进行比较以及移动边缘计算测试台上的实现。该项目将通过提高提供此类应用程序的成本，同时维持一定的用户服务质量水平，对未来的物联网和智慧城市应用产生影响。该项目开发的算法和优化框架将有助于可扩展且可靠的边缘计算系统的设计和开发研究，作为物联网应用的构建块。这项研究将作为研究者提供的专题研究生水平课程纳入课堂教学。针对初中生、高中生和伯里亚学院学生的具体外展活动旨在增加计算机科学中代表性不足的群体的参与。该项目产生的数据，包括代码、实验结果、演讲视频和出版物将通过以下项目页面共享：将在该项目的生命周期内进行维护。项目的两年期限结束后，项目网页和信息的档案将以数字方式存储，并在网页被删除时根据任何研究人员或实体的要求提供。项目存储库链接：http://www.cs.uky.edu/~khamfroush/fed-mec.php。 该项目由计算机和网络系统部的计算机系统研究计划和刺激竞争性研究既定计划 (EPSCoR) 联合资助。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力评估进行评估，认为值得支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
