TSC-ECFA:A Trusted Service Composition Scheme for Edge Cloud

Abstract

In order to select a composition scheme that meets user's needs and high performance from large-scale web services in the edge cloud, this paper proposes a trusted service composition optimization scheme called TSC-ECFA for edge cloud, which applies the predation strategy to the firefly algorithm (FA) and divides the services with the same input and output into one category, reducing the number of combinations to search for feasible solutions. The cotangent chaos theory is used to generate the initial firefly population and disturb the location of the individual to improve the overall search efficiency of FA. This paper also improves the step factor and attractiveness formula of FA to give full play to the detection ability of the step factor in the early stage of the algorithm, and balance the local search and the global search. Considering that the QoS attribute values of the service are vulnerable to be tampered with, the blockchain is used to store the QoS attribute values to ensure the tamper-proof and reliability of the QoS attribute value. Finally, simulation experiments compare the number of iterations and optimization of the three algorithms. The experimental results show that the comprehensive performance of TSC-ECFA is better than other algorithms.
