Computação conjunta e alocação de recurso para offloading em computação de borda: um mapeamento sistemático

Abstract

This work presents a systematic mapping of articles published between the years 2016 and 2023 on Offloading in edge computing, or Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), considering the aspects of joint computation and resource allocation. MEC is a technology that aims to reduce latency and increase efficiency by processing data close to its source, a necessary approach for the future of computer networks. Based on the proposed mapping, this present work discusses various techniques, methods, and models from the reviewed articles. In this work, the main challenges faced in this area are studied, as well as the approaches proposed by the analyzed articles. The result of this mapping is a classification of the field, providing a comprehensive and detailed overview of recent advancements in edge computing, with special attention given to joint computation and resource allocation solutions that enhance the performance and efficiency of the offloading technique.
