Abstract: Edge computing is an evolving decentralized computing infrastructure by which end applications are situated near the computing facilities. While the edge servers leverage the close proximity to the end-users for provisioning services at reduced latency and lower energy costs, their capabilities are constrained by limitations in computational and radio resources, which calls for smart, quality-of-service (QoS) guaranteed, and efficient task scheduling methods and algorithms. For addressing the edge-environment-oriented multi-workflow scheduling problem, the authors consider a probabilistic-QoS-aware approach to multi-workflow scheduling upon edge servers and resources. It leverages a probability-mass function-based QoS aggregation model and a discrete firefly algorithm for generating the multi-workflow scheduling plans. This research conducted an experimental case study based on varying types of workflow process models and a real-world dataset for edge server positions. It can be observed the method clearly outperforms its peers in terms of workflow completion time, cost, and deadline violation rate.
