Sand Dune Computing (SDC): A New Framework for Efficient Execution of User Requests to Support Device-Server Model
Sourav Kumar Bhoi · 2023
In the current world of computing, due to tremendous rise of smart devices all over the world it is difficult to get quick service from the limited servers in the heterogeneous environment as some servers are highly loaded with device requests. So, there should be a model or framework to analyze the requests and server traffic in the device-server model with some solution that can execute the device tasks very efficiently. Sand Dune Computing (SDC) is a new computing framework proposed whose main architecture is mainly motivated from a natural process in the environment that is formation of Sand Dunes in areas where the sand grains or smaller loose particles of sands are blown by wind, and accumulated as a temporary hill like structure called as Dune. Here, in the SDC architecture the Sand Grains are mainly considered as the device requests from multiple smart devices to get service from the servers, where server with more traffic is considered as the Sand Dune where the waited device requests are queued. Wind is assumed as the rate of requests from the smart devices. This architecture of SDC will help the current generation technologies or systems such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, edge/fog computing, osmotic computing, ad hoc and sensor networks, distributed computing, AI, etc. to analyze the device requests and server loads based on Sand Area, Dune Area, Dune Size, Dune Frequency, Wind Speed, and Wind Frequency. Also, in this paper some applications of SDC and research challenges are discussed.
