Intelligent Multi-Domain Edge Orchestration for Highly Distributed Immersive Services: An Immersive Virtual Touring Use Case

Abstract

Edge cloud technologies in tandem with AI-enabled solutions can contribute to overcoming the challenges that pertain the distributed execution of immersive services and contribute towards providing a positive experience for the end-users. Intelligent resource management, orchestration, and prediction systems can optimize the deployment of services, adapt to changing demands, and ensure that the services are running smoothly. This paper introduces a novel architectural paradigm capable of facilitating multi-domain edge orchestration for highly distributed immersive services by incorporating a plethora of AI solutions and technological enablers that can support multi-domain edge deployments. The proposed architecture is designed to operate on the basis of multi-level specification blueprints, which decouple the simple high-level user-intent infrastructure definition from the AI-driven orchestration and the final execution plan. The Application Management Framework (AMF) offers a visual language and tool that can be used as an alternative to a formal method for creating the intent blueprint. In the frame of this work, the latter is validated by an immersive virtual touring use-case scenario.
