Abstract EN
Cloudlet recently was proposed to push data centers towards network edges for reducing the network latency of delivering cloud services to mobile devices.
For the sake of user mobility, it is necessary to deploy and hand off services anytime anywhere for achieving the minimal network latency for users’ service requests.
However, the cost of this solution usually is too high for service providers and is not effective for resource exploitation.
To resolve this problem, we propose a location-aware service deployment algorithm based on K-means for cloudlets in this paper.
Simply speaking, the proposed algorithm divides mobile devices into a number of device clusters according to the geographical location of mobile devices and then deploys service instances onto the edge cloud servers nearest to the centers of device clusters.
Our performance evaluation has shown that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce not only the network latency of edge cloud services but also the number of service instances used for satisfying the condition of tolerable network latency.
