Mobility-Aware Container Migration in Cloudlet-Enabled IoT Systems using Integrated Muticriteria Decision Making

Service migration plays a vital role in continuous service delivery in Internet of Things (IoT) systems. This pa-per presents a mobility-aware container migration algorithm for Cloudlet-enabled IoT systems. The proposed algorithm is based on an integrated multicriteria decision making (MCDM) approach. It has been implemented using a specialized simulation tool and compared to other existing migration algorithms. Simu-lation results demonstrate the ability of the proposed algorithm to achieve up to 48%, 48%, 20% and 36% improvement in migration time, service downtime, migration reliability and service loss rate, respectively as compared to other migration algorithms. The proposed algorithm is capable of perceiving the run-time dynamics of IoT systems and appropriately manage the process of container migration.
