Abstract:

Critical distributed applications have strict require-ments over performance parameters, that may aect life of users. This is a limitation that may prevent the exploitation of cost eective solutions such as Cloud Computing (CC) based architectures: in fact, the qual-ity of the connection with the CC facility and the lack of control on cloud resources may limit the overall per-formances of an application and may cause outages. A way to overcome the problem, and disclose the ad-vantages of CC to critical applications, is provided by Edge Computing (EC). EC adds local support to CC, allowing a better distribution of application tasks ac-cording to their timeliness requirements. In this paper we present an innovative Special Weapons And Tac-tics (SWAT) support application, designed to empower eective operations in wide scenarios, that leverages EC to join CC elasticity and local immediateness, and we exploit Queuing Networks (QN) and Genetic Algo-rithms (GA) to design and optimize the system param-eters for an eective workload distribution.
