Latency-Aware Service Placement using Neural Combinatorial Optimisers for Edge--Cloud Systems (opens in new tab)

The growth of Internet of Things (IoT) applications and latency-sensitive services has increased the demand for efficient service placement across compute continuum platforms, such as edge--cloud systems. Modern applications are decomposed into interdependent microservices deployed over heterogeneous infrastructures, making placement under resource and network constraints an intractable NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problem. This study prop...
