Cost-effective and Reliable Edge Caching for Software Vendors

该项目旨在提供一套在5G移动网络促进的多路访问边缘计算(MEC)环境中进行经济高效和可靠的数据缓存的模型和技术。MEC为快速推进澳大利亚各个领域的移动和物联网应用提供了巨大的前景，例如智能城市、远程医疗服务、先进制造等。该项目结合了图形分析、优化技术和博弈论，解决了5G软件供应商在边缘数据放置、更新和适配方面面临的新挑战。这一成果可以缓解软件供应商在从4G向5G过渡过程中的成本和安全担忧，并显著推动澳大利亚的5G创新浪潮。

This project aims to deliver a suite of models and techniques for cost-effective and reliable data caching in the multi-access edge computing (MEC) environment facilitated by 5G mobile network. MEC offers great promises for rapidly advancing mobile and IoT applications in various domains in Australia, e.g., smart cities, remote medical services, advanced manufacturing, etc. Combining graph analytics, optimisation techniques and game theory, this project tackles the new challenges in the placement, update and adaptation of edge data faced by software vendors embracing 5G. The outcomes can ease software vendors' cost and security concerns during the transition from 4G to 5G, and significantly promote the wave of 5G innovation in Australia.
