Latency-aware service placement is promising in reducing the overall response latency of proliferating edge-cloud collaborative smart manufacturing systems. However, intuitive estimators used by existing approaches cannot accurately depict nonlinear end-to-end (E2E) multihop microservices with complex dependencies, which severely hindering effectiveness latency-aware placement. To address this ...

In order to solve the problem of matching the demand and service resources in cloud computing environment, the paper puts forward the concept of a collaborative value chain and analyses the collaborative task units and service resource elements. After that, the paper constructs a model of collaborative value chain and describes in detail the process and methods of matching the collaborative val...
