A Truncated SVD-Based ARIMA Model for Multiple QoS Prediction in Mobile Edge Computing

In the mobile edge computing environments,Quality of Service(QoS)prediction plays a crucial role in web service recommendation.Because of distinct features of mobile edge computing,i.e.,the mobility of users and incomplete historical QoS data,traditional QoS prediction approaches may obtain less accurate results in the mobile edge computing environments.In this paper,we treat the historical QoS values at different time slots as a temporal sequence of QoS matrices.By incorporating the compressed matrices extracted from QoS matrices through truncated Singular Value Decomposition(SVD)with the classical ARIMA model,we extend the ARIMA model to predict multiple QoS values simultaneously and efficiently.Experimental results show that our proposed approach outperforms the other state-of-the-art approaches in accuracy and efficiency.

A Time-Aware Dynamic Service Quality Prediction Approach for Services

Dynamic Quality of Service(QoS)prediction for services is currently a hot topic and a challenge for research in the fields of service recommendation and composition.Our paper addresses the problem with a Time-aWare service Quality Prediction method(named TWQP),a two-phase approach with one phase based on historical time slices and one on the current time slice.In the first phase,if the user had invoked the service in a previous time slice,the QoS value for the user calling the service on the next time slice is predicted on the basis of the historical QoS data;if the user had not invoked the service in a previous time slice,then the Covering Algorithm(CA)is applied to predict the missing values.In the second phase,we predict the missing values for the current time slice according to the results of the previous phase.A large number of experiments on a real-world dataset,WS-Dream,show that,when compared with the classical QoS prediction algorithms,our proposed method greatly improves the prediction accuracy.
