"Exact and Approximate Tasks Computation in IoT Networks" by Yuhan Cui, Kwan Wu Chin et al.
In future Internet of Thing (IoT) networks, devices can be leveraged to compute tasks or services. To this end, this paper addresses a novel problem that requires devices to collaboratively execute tasks with dependencies. A key consideration is that in order to conserve energy, devices may execute a task in approximate mode, which generate errors. To optimize their operation mode, we outline a novel chance constrained program that aims to execute as many tasks as possible in approximate mode subject to a probabilistic constraint relating to the said errors. We also outline two novel solutions...
