Abstract

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has led to edge-cloud computing paradigms where resource-constrained edge devices connect to cloud servers. However, traditional concurrency control methods like two-phase locking (2 PL) and optimistic concurrency control (OCC) are inefficient in these heterogeneous environments. This paper presents adaptive transaction management protocols for edge-cloud systems. We propose EC-Lock which transitions between non-blocking and blocking phases, and EC-OCC which distinguishes edge and cloud transactions during timestamp validation. These hybrid techniques reduce unnecessary blocking and restarts. Simulation studies demonstrate that EC-Lock and EC-OCC provide substantial performance gains over traditional protocols under diverse workloads. By balancing consistency and efficiency, the proposed protocols enable scalable edge-cloud transaction processing. Our results show EC-Lock and EC-OCC better utilize scarce edge resources while minimizing cloud transaction impact. This work delivers innovative adaptive concurrency control optimized for emerging IoT-based edge-cloud computing architectures.

期刊介绍： Computers in Human Behavior is a scholarly journal that explores the psychological aspects of computer use. It covers original theoretical works, research reports, literature reviews, and software and book reviews. The journal examines both the use of computers in psychology, psychiatry, and related fields, and the psychological impact of computer use on individuals, groups, and society. Articles discuss topics such as professional practice, training, research, human development, learning, cognition, personality, and social interactions. It focuses on human interactions with computers, considering the computer as a medium through which human behaviors are shaped and expressed. Professionals interested in the psychological aspects of computer use will find this journal valuable, even with limited knowledge of computers.
